The American Trucking Association (ATA) recently announced that Tyler Rushforth has been named executive director of the Intermodal Motor Carrier Conference (IMCC).
“We are thrilled to hire Tyler as the new executive director,” IMCC Chairman Randy Guillot said. “His impressive resume and deep knowledge of transportation and infrastructure issues make him the perfect candidate to serve our carriers, champion our issues, and lead IMCC to many successes in the years to come.”
Prior to joining the ATA, Rushforth spent a decade in Washington, D.C., where he served as counsel to the Environment and Public Works Committee and as a legislative advisor and counsel to former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
“I am excited to join the ATA family and get to work on behalf of the industry,” Rushforth said. “Intermodal faces a number of challenges and opportunities, from roadability and economic and operational fairness to infrastructure efficiencies. IMCC has an essential role to play in strengthening intermodal’s link in our national supply chain, and I’m proud to be a part of that effort.”
Rushforth holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Brigham Young University and earned a juris doctor from Vermont Law School.
