Who We Are

Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism; it’s exploitation. Without healthy competition, big players can change and charge whatever they want and treat you however they want.

-President Joe Biden

Competition is the key to progress, whether in technology, business, or any other field.

-President Barack Obama

Competition is the cornerstone of our economy, spurring innovation and driving economic growth.

-Mike Crapo - US Senator - Idaho

We believe open competition is healthy for everybody. It keeps us all honest in our business and shows innovation we can share more broadly across the industry. Our interest is to drive this rail mode to be successful in this country.

-Roger Harris, President of Amtrak
