It recognizes the importance of their engagement to promote ongoing information exchanges on developments in rail transportation, best practices in their respective regulatory approaches, and recent regulatory activities and current events. The agencies will exchange only information that is in the public domain in the United States and Canada to ensure that no confidentiality concerns are breached.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';font-size: large\">\u201cThe United States and Canada are linked in so many ways, not least of them by a vast rail network,\u201d Chairman Elliott stated in Ottawa. \u201cIt is an honor today to be signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the STB and the CTA, marking our commitment to be a resource to each other in the economic regulation of freight railroads.
