Strategic Rail Finance Principles

Strategic Rail Finance is guided by the following set of principles: 

I.  Long-term Vision  Strategic Rail Finance intends to influence to the greatest extent possible transportation development that maximizes the sustainable utilization of land and energy resources, and the creation of communities and networks of communities that are attractive, efficient, and safe to live in. 

II.  Community Focus  Many freight rail-related companies serve rural and small town America and smaller businesses everywhere. Strategic Rail Finance believes that building sustainable communities and effective transportation systems is best accomplished when public policy decision-makers and private-sector management support the smallest as well as the largest transportation providers. 

III. Public/Private Balance  Strategic Rail Finance is committed to creating commercial enterprises that are both profitable and contribute to sustainable communities.  In order to achieve these results, we support public policy that is grounded in cooperation and collaboration.  

       Our world is beginning to understand the finite limits of our natural, human, and capital resources.  Capital and human resources are only sustainable through effective use of our limited natural resources. 

       Freight transportation or moving heavy weight across land is a vital element of our economy, land use planning, and quality of life.  The rail industry is a measurable economic subsystem, yet interconnected with government and public welfare.  As such, it is  an ideal venue for demonstrating the financial benefits of cooperation and collaboration.  We intend to forward that cooperation.
