May 12 2022
ARA signed a Rail Customer Coalition Letter sent to members of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials for the record prior to a hearing.
ARA and the undersigned organizations submit this letter for the record in support of the STB having the necessary authority and resources to continue to ensure there is a competitive and reliable freight rail network that meets the needs of its users.
The STB supports several reforms to be enacted to address the issues that shippers are facing by increasing access to competitive freight rail service, creating better service metrics, providing accountability for service failures, and allowing the Board to operate more effectively.
