Lanman was a board member of the High Speed Ground Transportation Association at the time it integrated its members and assets into the APTA structure through formation of the High-Speed & Intercity Passenger Rail Committee. He chaired that committee from 2006-2008, after six years as its vice chair, and remained a member of that committee and the Commuter Rail Committee until his death.
Before joining Herzog, Lanman was assistant vice president of corporate development for Amtrak.
“Ray was an icon for doing business the right way,” said Bob Smith, president, Herzog Transit Services. “His reputation as one of the industry’s best and brightest followed him throughout his career, and he was trusted and loved by those who had the opportunity to do business with him.”
“Ray Lanman was the quiet giant of the intercity and high-speed rail movement,” said Rod Diridon, another past chair of the committee. “His caring and strategic excellence guided the transfer of the old HSGTA into the current, massive, and effective APTA High-Speed & Intercity Passenger Rail Committee.” |
