The Surface Transportation Board (STB) is an independent federal agency responsible for the economic regulation of various modes of surface transportation, primarily freight rail, in the United States. With a mission to support an efficient, competitive, and economically viable surface transportation network, the STB exercises its statutory authority to resolve disputes and ensure the needs of transportation users are met.
As the economic regulator, the STB oversees proceedings, actions, decisions, and filings related to rail service, environmental concerns, economic data, and more. Through its comprehensive resources and committees, such as the Railroad-Shipper Transportation Advisory Council and the National Grain Car Council, the STB strives to maintain a balanced and effective transportation system that benefits both industry stakeholders and the public.
