Goodbye 2020! Thank You Everyone For Your Support!
December 30, 2020
Rail Passengers President & CEO Jim Mathews says thank you in this brief goodbye to what has been a difficult year for everyone in the transportation scene. Thanks to all of our members, supporters, journalists, and staffers that have helped keep America's passenger rail advocacy network on track through these difficult times.
"On behalf of Amtrak’s onboard service staff, I want to thank the Rail Passengers Association for honoring their hard work with this award. The past couple years have indeed been difficult for Amtrak onboard service staff – coping with furloughs and job insecurity, adapting to changing protocols and services, not to mention the unfortunate events such as a tragic derailment and a fatal shooting. Nevertheless, our dedicated members at Amtrak have handled these hurdles with the care, attention and diligence for which they’re known. We thank Rail Passengers for their acknowledgement of our members’ hard work and, as always, look forward to seeing you on the rails."
