UCR Auto-Renew Program
The first year of UCR’s auto-renew program is coming up fast! Over 21,000 carriers have signed up to have their 2025 registration automatically renewed by the NRS. These carriers will soon begin to receive emails to remind them of the upcoming automatic registration. These registrations will all be done with option A and use the number of power units on their most current MCS-150 form. Payment will be automatically completed through the credit card the carrier authorized on the NRS during their 2024 registration. More information about this program will soon be available on the www.plan.ucr.gov website. For assistance with how to help carriers through this process, please contact the UCR helpdesk at 1-833-827-7526 or email them at helpdesk@ucr.gov.

Their testimony, along with that of railroads, unions, industry consultants and others has been filed with STB ahead of a two-day hearing at the agency next week over concerns about the railroads’ ability to continue to grow their business.
