Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner Statement on Trump Administration

"Amtrak looks forward to working with the Trump administration and the new Congress next year as we continue our efforts to improve mobility between cities, towns and rural areas across the United States. We are on track to achieve record ridership and revenue, and with continued funding and support from Congress and the administration, we are excited to build upon this record demand for intercity passenger rail with more service and big progress on our major projects that are revitalizing America's infrastructure and creating U.S. jobs. Great things are underway at Amtrak for the American people and the more than 500 communities we serve, and we are committed to working with the incoming administration to fulfill our mission of improving this country's transportation network and growing the economy."
