STERA was created by the New York State Legislature to preserve and enhance the system of railroads serving Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Steuben Counties in NYS and Warren and Erie Counties in the Commonwealth of PA, so as to insure a healthy economy for these counties.
STERA's goal is to encourage an operating railroad that provides adequate rail service, to increase rail shipping carload volumes, to catalyze opportunities for additional business expansion and development based on rail service, to achieve improved functional performance of the rail lines through rehabilitation efforts, to encourage safe railroad operations, and to achieve a clean audit report and NYS ABO compliance report.
