IANA Expands Mobile Access to Critical Intermodal Services

New Information Services application gives motor carriers and equipment providers easier access to essential IANA programs

CALVERTON, MD (September 9, 2026) — The Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) today announced the launch of its new Information Services Mobile App, expanding access to key intermodal business services for motor carriers and equipment providers.

Available for Apple iOS and Android devices, the app brings together frequently used functions across IANA’s UIIA, GIER, SIA and IDD programs in a single mobile platform.

“Intermodal operations do not happen behind a desk, and our technology needs to reflect that,” said Debbie Sasko, Vice President of Information Services at IANA. “This app puts important information and services directly in the hands of our users, making it easier to stay connected, informed and productive throughout the day.”

The launch is part of IANA’s ongoing effort to make the systems and information that support everyday intermodal operations easier to access and use.

“Reliable information and convenient access to it are essential to keeping freight moving,” said Anne Reinke, President and CEO of IANA. “This mobile app is another example of how IANA is investing in practical tools that help the intermodal community operate more efficiently and stay connected across the supply chain.”

The app enables participants to access important account information, monitor status updates, complete common administrative tasks and manage intermodal activities while on the go.

IANA will demonstrate the new functionality at their Intermodal EXPO booth in Long Beach on Wednesday, September 16, so attendees can see first-hand how IANA’s Information Services programs can now be accessed directly from a mobile device.

Beyond its membership, IANA operates the information systems that govern landside intermodal equipment interchange in North America. The Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA) is the industry's single standard interchange contract, with more than 12,000+ motor carrier signatories and 58 equipment providers — including ocean carriers, railroads, and leasing companies — covering approximately 95% of all North American intermodal equipment interchanges. IANA also operates the Equipment Return Location Directory (ERLD) and Street Interchange, which exchange operational data directly with large ocean carriers today.
