The Railroad Cooperation and Education Trust (RAILCET) is an organization comprised of railroad labor and management that promotes cooperation in all disciplines of railroad contracting. RAILCET members are signatory to the Railroad Transportation and Operation Agreement (RTOA), which is available to rail contractors, laborers and operators looking for a high-quality labor agreement that allows them to perform rail maintenance and construction productively and efficiently. RAILCET members understand the importance of a job completed safely, on time and on budget.

To provide its members with results, RAILCET combines:

• Skills and safety training;
• Zero lost time due to labor relations;
• Drug and alcohol free, safe work site;
• Geographically zoned, competitive wage rates;
• Economical health and pension plans; and,
• Portability of manpower with the ability to get additional high skilled employees to any location with a single phone call when needed. 

A leader in providing quality and innovation in safety education, RAILCET’s sister trust (Education & Training), together with the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC) sponsors state of the art web-based Roadway Worker and Track Standards safety training programs for its 1,200 members. These programs ensure that a railroad’s on-track workforce is in compliance with federal safety regulations.
