Railroad company investments along with education, safety-enhancing technologies and training have helped ensure that train accidents are at an all-time low.
WHAT WE DO
The Michigan Railroads Association (MRA) reviews all introduced legislation in the House and Senate. Proposed legislation affecting the rail industry is shared with our members. Final industry positions regarding legislation are then communicated to the legislature. We pursue the same activity with appropriate personnel in the state departments and the legislative process.
WHO WE ARE
The Michigan Railroads Association (MRA) is a non-profit trade association that represents the interests of freight railroads operating in Michigan. MRA members range in size from large Class 1 interstate carriers to smaller regional carriers and shortline railroads. MRA members account for 95% of all freight rail moved in Michigan.

MRA membership is open to any freight railroad with Michigan operations. Please contact the MRA office for membership information.
