Super huge news


The Port of Woodland and Glid Technologies form partnership with rail to road technologies.
Glid Technologies, founded by Kevin Damoa, is seeking to advance autonomous intermodal
advancements with a road to rail vehicle solution, first of its kind. This will seek to serve gaps in short rail
providers, trucking companies, and manufactures. The project in BETA development, would provide for
a first of its kind prototype to be built in the U.S., and seeking to develop and manufacture in SW
Washington.
The Port of Woodland, who owns the Schurman Way rail spur, would provide the future location for
testing and hub for operations. “Glid is at the edge of tackling a significant issue that plagues industrial
areas throughout, with the shortage of trucking, improving safety along our rails, and creating a green
technology that would better serve customers,” stated Port of Woodland Executive Director Jennifer
Wray-Keene.
As part of the Glid Technologies model, the autonomous road to rail mobility, called ARRM, would allow
for movement of current configuration of rail cars, requiring no additional infrastructure to be built. The
ARRM would be capable of both road and rail movements, through sensors and cameras using advanced
technologies and opportunities for use of battery, hybrid and/or hydrogen power.
“Committing the Port to advancing technologies that meet and exceed energy efficiency standards all
while setting the Port to be the first autonomous rail hub will bring significant investment and jobs to
our region,” stated Commissioner Paul Cline.
“We are excited to partner with the Port of Woodland to bring about this opportunity for strong
technological advancement in the region that will provide safer, more efficient, and cleaner industry in
and for the community.” Stated Founder & CEO, Glid Technologies , Kevin Damoa.” Our hopes are that
our joint success in SW Washington will serve as a catalyst for change and adoption eventually all across
our nation, as we all strive for global decarbonization, more efficient products, and more effective ways
to commercialize and sustain. “
Damoa provided an overview of the process and plans for the future of Glid with the Port at the Port of
Woodland Commission meeting November 16. The Port submitted a grant on behalf of the partnership
to USDOT for the design and engineering of the prototype in October. For more information about Glid,
