VitalRail is unprecedented in its industrial policy scope as the comprehensive set of initiatives for expanding freight rail service to North America’s industrial systems and communities. This progress is crucial to the continent’s economic and environmental sustainability. As there is no technological replacement on the horizon for railroads' efficient movement of 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 enables the multi-stakeholder investments and system-wide optimization that individual sectors or actors cannot achieve on their own.

VitalRail works in five essential areas to grow freight rail service:

  1. Citizen and community education on the benefits of rail transportation
  2. "Rail-enabled economic development" training for economic developers, landowners, and land developers
  3. Growth capital for rail-served industrial systems and projects
  4. Rail-centered industrial development initiatives for states and provinces
  5. Collaborative resolution of long-standing barriers to shared prosperity, enabled by the IntelliConferences listed below:
