Advocate to your Members of Congress that they support S. 2322, The C-TPAT Pilot Program Act. TIA members have waited more than 10 years for eligibility into a program that 3PLs should have been a part of since its inception.

In 2008, the Federal Government rolled out the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). The program is a "trusted partner" program that allows the private sector to support national security by undertaking minimum security requirements. Once the requirements are met, a supply chain entity is able to quickly and efficiently enter the country.

Use our Voter Voice campaign to connect with your Members of Congress!

S. 2322 creates a new pilot program to finally allow previously neglected companies a chance to earn the C-TPAT certification. Lets make this happen together! Write to your Congressional Office today!

A broker’s Introduction to Intermodal Transportation was jointly developed by several of TIA’s railroad associate members and provides a general overview of the intermodal mode. This course is perfect for transportation and freight brokerage professionals looking to expand into intermodal services.

 If you have any questions, please contact the TIA Education Team at education@tianet.org.

We have just updated the Member Resource Library, with a new section devoted exclusively to whitepapers TIA has produced over the years. These resources are designed to help our members gain a better understanding of issues, trends, and developments in the industry as they navigate an increasingly crowded 3PL marketplace. The Member Resource Library also includes a collection of guidelines and frameworks, contracts, legal cases, and other resources to provide TIA Members with a knowledge bank for 3PL success.

You must be logged into the TIA website to access this library. Contact a member of TIA staff at
