“Freight Guy” & former Administrator of the US Federal Railroad Administration, Allan Rutter, who served during the George W. Bush administration, shares his experiences advising on freight and logistics at the state and federal level, crafting and managing transportation policies, and managing federal budgets and agencies that are responsible for the logistics infrastructure that we depend on to keep commerce flowing. Some topics include his time leading the Federal Railroad Administration in the wake of 9/11, the current state of autonomous vehicles from a government perspective, and how less traffic on the roads during Covid-19 actually resulted in higher fatality rates.
