Jeff Moller from the American Association of Railroads (AAR) was this week elected Vice Chair of the UIC North American region for a two-year mandate.
The UIC congratulates Jeff Moller on this new mission. Jeff Moller is particularly active within the UIC COVID-19 Task Force which was set up in March 2020.
He joins Barbara Barr, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Regional Chair, who was elected last December.
Priorities for the region include:
- response to Covid-19 challenges
- rail safety and use of new technologies
- rail regulatory harmonisation where possible
- promotion of freight and passenger rail usage
- shared interest in rail to reduce carbon footprint and assist in climate change efforts
- ensuring strong rail freight traffic continues throughout North America, including cross- border traffic (which has continued through the pandemic)
