VitalRail is unprecedented in its industrial policy scope. We have positioned this comprehensive set of initiatives for expanding freight rail service to North America’s industrial systems and communities. Expanded rail service is crucial to the continent’s economic and environmental sustainability. There is no technological replacement on the horizon for railroads' efficient movement of heavy weight over land. To meet this moment, VitalRail facilitates the multi-stakeholder investments and system-wide optimization that individual sectors or actors cannot achieve on their own. Now is the time to orchestrate the stakeholder collaboration needed to resolve long standing issues and realize this tremendous infrastructure development opportunity.

VitalRail expands freight rail service across North America's industrial systems and communities.

Rail is irreplaceable for moving heavy weight efficiently over land—no technological alternative exists. Our continent's economic and environmental sustainability depends on dramatically expanded rail service. Individual companies, communities, or sectors cannot achieve the system-wide optimization and multi-stakeholder investment this requires.

VitalRail orchestrates that collaboration.

VitalRail works in five essential areas:

  1. Citizen and community education on rail transportation benefits
  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 through IntelliConferences (listed below)

Together, these initiatives resolve persistent obstacles and unlock unprecedented infrastructure development opportunities.
