4 RSI Leadership RSI Leadership The RSI Board of Directors develops and implements association policy, and represents the diverse membership of the railway supply industry. Board members make up small and large companies involved in the manufacture of products and services in the freight car, locomotive, maintenance-of-way, communications and signaling, and transit industries. RSI Board Members are elected each fall by RSI membership at the RSI Annual Meeting. The Board, in turn, elects RSI’s officers, including the chairman, vice chairman, and secretary/treasurer. The office term for RSI Board members is three years. The term for officers of the Board is one year and special directors have a one year term. OFFICERS RSI STAFF Chairman Chris Ragot Thomas D.

Issues that fall under this larger bill: 19 ■ Section 130 Highway-Rail Grade Cross- 2009 RSI Annual Report ing Safety Program ■ Truck Sizes and Weight Section 130 Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety Program Since 1973 Congress has provided dedicated funding for states to implement safety improvement projects at highway-rail grade crossings. This funding has been a part of every surface transportation act since 1973 and, at the urging of RSI, was continued in SAFETEA-LU at $220 million per fiscal year. The Chairman of the House T & I Commit- tee, Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), has introduced his version of SAFETEA-LU Reauthorization titled, the Surface Transportation Authoriza- tion Act of 2009. This bill would provide $500 billion in total transportation funding, with nearly $100 billion for public transportation and $50 billion for high-speed rail. Unfortunately, this bill terminates the Section 130 highway-rail grade crossing program $220 million set aside over two years and consolidates the funding and its authority into the Highway Safety Improvement Pro- gram thereby forcing it to compete with 21 standing and successful Section 130 highway other major highway safety programs for lim- rail grade crossing program and enhance pro- ited federal safety dollars. ject prioritization requirements.

The freight railroads and the trucking industry agreed to oppose changes in federal law regarding truck size and weight through Sep- tember 2009, the period when SAFETEA-LU was in effect. Some within the trucking industry have indicated that they will seek lifting existing Truck Size & Weight limits when SAFETEA-LU is reauthorized.

Railroad Antitrust Enforcement Act H.R. 233 and S. 146, Railroad Antitrust Enforcement Act, would repeal limited antitrust exemptions provided for freight railroads. The bills would allow the federal government, States and private parties to file suit to enjoin anti-competitive mergers and acquisitions. The bills would also move the review of mergers to the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division and to the Federal Trade Commission.
