GoRail

GoRail is an education focused startup that is dedicated to promoting the benefits of freight rail transportation. Since its inception in 2004, the company has been working tirelessly to leverage the potential of rail transport in strengthening the economy, creating jobs, and reducing pollution. The organization collaborates with numerous community leaders across the United States to communicate the local impacts of freight rail, emphasizing how it leads to robust economies, increased employment, and cleaner environments.

One of the core principles of GoRail is that "all politics is local," and it strongly believes in the power of direct constituent input in influencing elected officials. The company's efforts are aimed at raising public awareness about the significant contributions of freight railroads, which operate independently and contribute over $20 billion annually, with minimal support from taxpayers. This substantial investment plays a pivotal role in enhancing America's industrial competitiveness by ensuring the maintenance and improvement of the rail network, vital for connecting businesses and communities to global markets.

GoRail is supported by U.S. freight railroads and rail supply companies, and the company's coalition of community leaders effectively advocates for favorable rail policy decisions and increased rail investments at the congressional level. The tangible impacts of such decisions are felt at the local level, encompassing aspects such as job creation, economic development, air quality improvements, and reduced road congestion.
