Written by Carolina Worrell, Senior Editor
BNSF Vice President of Industrial Products Ryan Dreier has been appointed to STB's Railroad-Shipper Transportation Advisory Council.
The Surface Transportation Board (STB) on March 12 announced that it has appointed Ryan Dreier to its Railroad-Shipper Transportation Advisory Council (RSTAC) as a large railroad representative.
As Vice President of Industrial Products for BNSF, Dreier leads sales and marketing efforts for several commodities, including chemicals, forest products, construction products, and food and beverages with nearly 25 years of experience with the Class I in various leadership roles.
“I am pleased that Ryan has agreed to join RSTAC and advise the Board on matters of concern,” said STB Chairman Martin Oberman. “He has extensive experience with operations and customer service to meet the needs of shippers and the public. The other Board members and I look forward to working with him on RSTAC to help ensure the rail network remains efficient and viable.”
The ICC Termination Act of 1995 established RSTAC to advise STB, the Secretary of Transportation; the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure with respect to rail transportation policy issues RSTAC considers significant. It is charged with developing private-sector mechanisms to “identify, address and prevent obstacles to effective and efficient interstate transportation,” according to STB.
