Associate Program

The Association of American Railroad’s Associate Program is for every business that depends on the continued strength of America’s freight and passenger railroads.

Through the Associate Advisory Board (AAB), all associates enjoy a formal structure for the representation of their views within AAR — one that enables them to contribute their input and expertise to operational decisions. All associates vote for members of the advisory board. AAR has crafted two program levels, silver and gold, tailored to the needs of your business that keeps our industry moving.

We have opportunities to interface with key decision makers within the rail industry. We gain first-hand knowledge on matters that affect our business. – Jack Isselmann, The Greenbrier Companies
