Tell Your Reps: Keep Amtrak Rolling
With the resignation of CEO Stephen Gardner and talks of privatization being thrown around the halls of the White House, we are now in one of the most pivotal moments in Amtrak's history. Now, more than ever, we must protect Amtrak as a public service. All of us who care about passenger rail need to deliver that message forcefully to our members of Congress. Use this action alert to call, write, or "tweet" your elected officials and continue to make your voice heard!
Take Action!
Rail Passengers On-Board Service & Equipment Survey
Share your thoughts, feelings, and reactions to issues you may have had on a recent Amtrak trip. Dining or observation car taken off? Faulty equipment during the trip? Dirty windows & exterior? Communication issues before the trip even began? Help us keep hammering the message home and share this survey with other passengers!
Take the Survey"The COVID Pandemic has been and continues to be the biggest challenge faced by Americans as it has taken a deadly toll on the world and on the world’s economies. During COVID Locomotive Engineers at Amtrak and other Passenger and Freight Railroads have embodied the definition of essential workers. This dedication by our members is not new. We applaud the Rail Passenger’s Association for recognizing the vital contributions of our members and their hard work moving Americans and freight during the COVID pandemic."
