OnTrackNorthAmerica is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit action think tank for the sustainable optimization of our continent’s freight transport system in service to the economy, environment, and quality of life.

OnTrackNorthAmerica’s initiatives for whole-systems infrastructure planning are designed to:

  • Support the optimization of all transport modes within a balanced freight logistics system, by gathering all available data, studies and experience.
  • Advance coordination and collaboration among industry, government, and community.
  • Build the next generation of transportation lifecycle benefit/cost analysis to develop clear, functional measures for future planning and investing in transportation infrastructure.
  • Lead the implementation of freight transportation land use strategies.
  • Reverse the decline of direct rail service.
  • Expand investment in sustainable freight transportation.
  • Implement a new model for transportation planning: Transportation Action Planning.
  • Augment competition for individual gain with coordination and collaboration in the best interests of the community.

Engagements: OTNA advises businesses, governments, and communities in collaborative development of freight investments that fully value the lifecycle impacts of how, where, and what we move.

  • Lifecycle Freight Benefit-Cost Analysis: A fully comprehensive method of benefit/cost analysis answering the needs and concerns of 21stcentury freight infrastructure planners and stakeholders.
  • North American Freight Forum: An innovation in multi-stakeholder interaction for generating new thinking, alignment, and sustainable opportunity in freight transportation.
  • IntelliConference: A revolutionary approach to group dialogue. These interactions, whether conducted asynchronously online, or in-person, make judicious use of each participant’s time, driving efficiently toward clarity, alignment and action.
  • Lifecycle Freight Data Bank: In modern infrastructure development, data drives decision-making. As our society searches for more sustainable solutions, it’s time to gather all the data… and make sure it’s put to use by planners, government leaders and stakeholders.
  • 13-Step Vision For American Rail Freight Transportation: In the words of our founder: “Our continued underutilization of rail transportation, in spite of its energy, capital, and space efficiency, provides a clear example of how conventional thinking is not serving society.” Here’s how that situation can be addressed.
