SUMMARY:2025 AASHTO Council on Rail Transportation Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:AASHTO’s Council on Rail Transportation Annual Meeting (CORT Annual Meeting)\, October 20-22\, offers members and stakeholders the opportunity to participate in peer exchanges and technical sessions focused on freight and passenger rail. As the demand for freight and passenger rail evolves at both the state and regional levels\, this meeting provides an opportunity to engage with federal\, state\, and industry leaders\, enabling the exchange of information on issues essential to maintaining a robust rail system. \nRegistration for the CORT Annual Meeting\, including the States for Passenger Rail Committee (SPRC) meeting on October 20\, is available by clicking the “Register Now” button above. \nThe State-Amtrak Intercity Passenger Rail Committee (SAIPRC) Meeting takes place on Thursday\, October 23. \nRegistration for the SAIPRC meeting is managed separately by SAIPRC and is not included in the CORT Annual Meeting registration. \nTo attend the SAIPRC meeting\, you must register through SAIPRC directly. If you have any questions\, contact Barley Fields by email at bfields@aashto.org and by phone at 832-515-6626.
