About Us

OTNA’s mission is to demonstrate that collaboration, not competition, should drive commerce and governance. Since 1995, we have focused on freight railroads and industrial systems, developing collaborative approaches that consistently deliver superior productivity, profitability, and sustainability. Through this work, we create replicable models of cooperation-based economic activity.

Our Core Principles

The value and power of our work rest on an unusually responsible set of ethics and principles that focus our attention on the long-term pragmatic interests of our planet and future generations.
