Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Ryder System, Inc. To 
Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.50 par value, From Listing and 
Registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Incorporated

March 2, 2005.
    On February 11, 2005, 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 Chicago Stock Exchange Incorporated (``CHX'').

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a resolution on July 
16, 2004 to withdraw the Security from listing on CHX. The Issuer 
stated that the reasons for the Board's decision to withdraw the 
Security from CHX are the historically modest trading activity on CHX, 
the annual expense, and administrative burden. 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 CHX, including Article XXVII, Rule 4, by complying 
with all applicable laws in effect in the State of Florida and by 
providing CHX with the required documents governing the removal of 
securities from listing and registration on CHX. The Issuer's 
application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from 
listing on CHX and shall not affect its continued listing on the NYSE 
or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.\3\
