The Gulf Coast Freight Rail District was chartered by the State of Texas in 2007.  Its mission is to better incorporate rail lines, both freight and commuter, into the region's transportation network.  The District is tasked with sustaining regional and economic growth by guiding development of the rail network in a way that limits its impact on quality of life.

The Rail Team championed the enactment of the Gulf Coast Freight Rail District.  The Alliance holds a seat on the Rail District's Board of Directors.  The first meeting of the Rail District was on August 22, 2007.
