VitalRail, unprecedented in its industrial policy scope is the comprehensive set of initiatives for expanding freight rail service to North America’s industrial systems and communities. This service growth is fundamental to the continent’s economic and environmental sustainability. As there is no technological replacement on the horizon for rail’s inherent efficiency for moving heavy weight over land, now is the time to resolve long-standing issues that stand in the way of this tremendous infrastructure development opportunity.
VitalRail advances initiatives in four areas necessary for this multistakeholder opportunity:
1) Citizen and community education of the beneficial realities of rail transportation
2) Rail-enabled economic development training for economic and land development
3) Growth capital provision for rail-served industrial systems and projects
4) State and provincial rail-enabled economic development initiatives
5) Multistakeholder resolution of long-standing issues and barriers to shared prosperity
In addition to in-the-field rail-served economic development growth at the state and provincial level, described further here, these are the most important national and continental issues and the IntelliConference dialogue agendas for their resolution:
The VitalRail IntelliConferences
- Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Merger
- Rail Growth Capitalization
- Rail Regulatory Excellence
- Rail Business Culture
- Rail Management – Rail Labor
- Containerized International Freight
- Rail Carload System Revitalization
- Rail Energy Efficiency
- Freight Transportation Land Use
- Rail Technology Adoption
- Rail Trucking Coordination
