2 Since 1906, ARDA has provided a forum for the North American railroad community to meet and affect positive change: The objectives of the Association are to foster the industrial, real estate, natural resources, market development activities and environmental concerns of the North American railroads; and through the advancement of ideas and education of its members further promote the effectiveness of railway development and related work. The American Railway Development Association (ARDA) is a not-forprofit educational trade association founded in 1906 to promote Economic Development, Real Estate Development, Technology, and Environmental Activities of the North American Railroads. ARDA achieves this through the advancement of ideas and education of members to further promote the effectiveness of railway development. ARDA encourages membership from all classes of railroads throughout North America. Members also include professionals from other associations, agencies, and railroad service partners that have a direct effect on rail business today. ARDA s membership variety provides a wide perspective on issues facing the railroad industry in the 21st Century. The Economic Development Section is focused on enhancing rail business through the expansion and location of new railway and customer facilities. The Real Estate Section works to address the challenges that the rail industry faces in the acquisition, sale, and lease of real property. The Environmental Section represents the environmental interests of the rail industry and provides awareness and information transfer on related topics. The Technology Section promotes technology and systems that advance matters pertaining to railroad environmental, real estate, and economic development activities. The Law Section focuses on legal issues affecting the railroad industry. ARDA s section structure and its events not only provide informative programs, but also allow members to network with their industry peers. ARDA members include representatives from all of the Class 1 railroads, several short line and regional railroads, as well as professionals in real estate, economic development, environmental, engineering, legal, and other disciplines. The ARDA conference is an excellent educational and networking opportunity. Page 2
