GoRail

GoRail is a non-profit organization based in Washington, District of Columbia. Founded in 2004, the organization employs 16 people and generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. GoRail focuses on advocating for the benefits of freight rail to elected officials and the public. GoRail works with community leaders across the United States to highlight the positive impacts of freight rail on local economies, job creation, and environmental sustainability. They emphasize the significant financial contributions made by freight railroads to the US economy, noting that they pay for their own operations with minimal taxpayer support. The organization's mission is to demonstrate the tangible benefits of freight rail investments and policies at a local level. They work to educate policymakers about the real-world impacts of rail-related decisions on communities, including job creation, economic development, air quality, and road congestion.
