During this podcast, AAR's Jefferies provided a deep overview of the rail carload and intermodal markets.
Themes focused on over the course of this podcast included: the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Staggers Act, which the AAR describes as a “visionary and balanced approach to regulation”; the significance of the Staggers Act; the threat of railroad re-regulation; a look at Surface Transportation Board proceeding in the future, including with a potential change in the White House; and a look at the current state of rail and intermodal volumes.
Jefferies started in his role leading the AAR in January 2019 and prior to that he served as the senior vice president of AAR’s government affairs, overseeing the development, promotion, and implementation of legislative priorities for the AAR. And before joining the AAR, Jefferies served as a senior policy advisor to the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, from 2009-2013.
