An Overview
|
|
GRA supports safe transportation, economic development and private enterprises.
 GRA provides a forum for Georgia railroads to share information and to promote knowledge and understanding of the role of railroads in the safe, efficient and economic freight transportation of goods.
Georgia railroads operate under authority of a certificate of convenience and necessity issued by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board. Railroads serve a public purpose - the safe transportation of goods in interstate commerce.
Georgia members are an active participant in Georgia Operation Lifesaver, a program devoted to ensuring public safety around railroad property.
It is the GRA's hope that this website will serve as a tool for citizens and officials with an interest in our industry.
