Please join us Friday, March 5 for an ELPC Thinks webinar with Surface Transportation Board Chairman Marty Oberman, who will speak about challenges and opportunities for passenger and freight rail. 

Marty served as Chairman of Metra and the Chicago City Council as Alderman of the 43^rd Ward.  He was appointed to the Surface Transportation Board in January 2019 and was recently named its Chairman by President Biden.  The Surface Transportation Board’s economic regulation of railroads has major impacts on the freight rail industry, as well as Amtrak, METRA, and other passenger rail carriers.
