ACACSO-Association of car accounting and car services
The objectives of this association, as stated in the by-laws, are to promulgate rules and methods for improving the handling of railroad freight cars, trailers and containers, and maintenance of records and accounts relating thereto. The actual car accounting and car service rules of Circular OT-10 are created and published by the AAR. However, historically, many of those rules had their start as a discussion topic within this association. There may be no better forum than the twice-yearly ACACSO meetings for gaining an understanding of the rules and issues that confront those working in this area.

ITI: Intermodal Transportation Institute
The Intermodal Transportation Institute (ITI) was established in 1991 as the University of Denver's Center for Transportation Studies to promote the vision of sustainable transportation systems worldwide. In 1996 the name was changed to reflect more specifically its concern with the development of an intermodal system that was consonant with the goals of sustainability. With major intermodal system expansions underway around the world, with renewable fossil fuels being rapidly consumed, and with environmental and security issues dominant global concerns, transportation needs a new vision, one of an integrated, ethical network that uses the strengths of all modes and minimizes their weaknesses.
