Representing the interests of freight railroads in Ohio at all levels of government for over eight decades. We advocate at all levels of government to advance policies that support a safe, efficient, and competitive rail network.
Ohio’s freight rail system plays a critical role in sustaining the state’s economy by supporting manufacturers, agricultural producers, energy providers, and small businesses in every region. Through strategic engagement with policymakers and stakeholders, the Association works to ensure rail remains a safe, reliable, and cost-effective engine of economic growth.
