The recently completed I-band SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances contains about 300 galaxy distances within cz ≲ 4000 km/s. These data allow for good constraints on the local mass density and velocity fields. The mass density parameter βI ≡ Ω0.6/bI, where bI is the biasing factor of the IRAS redshift survey galaxies, is found to be βI ≍ 0.45.
