Federal Railroad Administration

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was created in 1966 as a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation to promote rail transportation.

On May 3 2005, the United States Senate confirmed Joseph H. Boardman to head the agency. Until his appointment with the FRA, Boardman was transportation commissioner for the state of New York. He began working as FRA Administrator on June 1, 2005.
