'''OnTrackNorthAmerica (OTNA)''' produces Industrial Systems Initiatives such as '''VitalRail''' and companion IntelliConference Series. The Continental Action Plans for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI) is the strategic thinking community, a part of OTNA, that designs Industrial Systems Initiatives and IntelliConference Series.

'''OTNA''' was founded by '''Michael Sussman''' in 2007 as a nonprofit 501c3 industrial policy institute co-leading society in redesigning industrial systems to support sustainable life.

'''OnTrackNorthAmerica (OTNA)''' produces Industrial Systems Initiatives such as '''VitalRail''' and companion IntelliConference Series. The Continental Action Plans for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI) is the strategic thinking community, a part of OTNA, that designs Industrial Systems Initiatives and IntelliConference Series.

'''OTNA''' was founded by '''Michael Sussman''' in 2007 as a nonprofit 501c3 industrial policy institute co-leading society in redesigning industrial systems to support sustainable life. Michael Sussman began his career in transportation in 1994 by launching [https://strategicrail.com Strategic Rail Finance], a North American transportation-industry consulting firm, and has since advised on infrastructure-related projects, companies, and systems for private and public sector clients in forty-three U.S. states and four Canadian provinces.

At OTNA, we value objectivity, non-partisanship, and autonomy from any financial, political, or personal interests. We are committed to industrial systems that are financially profitable and sustainable.
OTNA has developed state and regional plans, tools, analyses, and paradigms supporting these values. 
* In 2023, OTNA led a four-county stakeholder process in New Mexico in the aftermath of a 350,000-acre forest fire resulting in the [[New Mexico Sustainable Forestry Business Plan|New Mexico Forestry Business Plan]].
* In 2021, OTNA convened hundreds of transportation stakeholders to create [[Nevada’s 2021 State Rail Plan]], a new whole-systems paradigm for statewide rail-enabled economic development.
* On December 11, 2008, OTNA [[pdf:Resolution-OnTrackNorthAmerica|gathered industry and government leaders in the U.S. Capitol Building]] to set a new collaborative framework for freight rail transportation efficiency.
* On December 8, 1998, OTNA convened [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/e/ef/1998-Invitation-US-Congressional-Briefing-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf a rail transportation educational event in the U.S. Capitol Building] for 55 congressional staff.

OnTrackNorthAmerica Frequently Collaborates with Partners in Academia 

* Dr. Barbara Gray, founder of Penn State University’s Center for Research in Conflict and Negotiation, has contributed significantly to OTNA’s work.
* The University of Tennessee’s [https://isse.utk.edu/ Institute for a Secure and Sustainable Environment] provided research assistance for OTNA’s Land Freight Lifecycle Impact Calculator.
* Philadelphia’s Temple University hosted Michael’s talk, [[How Collaboration, Trust, and Railroads Will Save the World|“How Collaboration, Trust, and Railroads Will Save the World,”]] on December 5th, 2023.
* The Transportation Research Forum honored Michael with its 2024 annual [https://trforum.org/presidents-award/ President’s Award].
* Michael serves on the Industry Advisory Board of the six-university consortium, [https://fersc.utk.edu/ Center for Freight Transportation and Efficient & Resilient Supply Chains]

He has contributed to improving public policy by meeting with staff or leaders of 69 U.S. Senate and 195 U.S. House offices. 

* In March of 2011, Michael was the only private sector invitee to a [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/6/6b/2011-Invitation-US-Congress-Rail-Workshop-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf U.S. House Railroad Subcommittee Staff Workshop] to explore ways to improve the FRA RRIF loan program.
* On February 17, 2011, [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/f/f7/2011-Testimony-US-Congressional-Hearing-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf he testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Railroad Subcommittee] on reforms to the Federal Railroad Administration’s Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) program.
* On October 19, 2005, [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/a/ab/2005-Testimony-Surface-Transportation-Board-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf he spoke before the Surface Transportation Board] on the 25th anniversary of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980.

Representative acknowledgments of these efforts:

* Thank you letters from [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/d/d3/Thank-You-Letter-US-Rep-Wolf-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf Republican House Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Frank Wolf] and [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/3/3e/Thank-You-Letter-US-Sen-Rockefeller-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller’s Chief of Staff].
* In 2003, he contributed to Washington State produce shippers by designing and writing important elements of the [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/f/f4/2003-Reference-Letter-2-WSDOT-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf Washington State Produce Railcar Pool Act] as passed by the 2003 state legislature.
* In 1999, he worked with the Federal Railroad Administration to eliminate audited financial statement requirements for Class II and III railroads from the [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/7/78/OMB-Caused-the-Delay-OnTrackNorthAmerica.pdf Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing Act (RRIF loan program)].
* In November of 1997 he was responsible for making freight rail projects eligible in [https://capsi.ontracknorthamerica.org/images/1/11/OnTrackNorthAmerica-105v106.pdf H.R.115 – the National Infrastructure Development Act].
