    On September 28, 2004, Ryder System, Inc., a Florida corporation 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $.50 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the Archipelago

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a resolution on July 
16, 2004, to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the ArcaEx. 
The Issuer states that the reason for its decision to withdraw its 
Security from the ArcaEx is the historically modest trading activity, 
the annual expense, and administrative burden of trading on the ArcaEx. 
The Issuer states that the Security is currently listed, and will 
continue to list, on the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'').
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of the ArcaEx, including PCX Rule 5.4(b), by complying 
with all applicable laws in effect in the State of Florida and by 
providing the ArcaEx with the required documents governing the removal 
of securities from listing and registration on the ArcaEx. The Issuer's 
application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from 
listing on the ArcaEx and shall not affect its continued listing on the 
NYSE or its obligation to be registered under section 12(b) of the 
Act.\3\
