WASHINGTON — Amtrak on Thursday announced the launch of “Amtrak Gives Back,” which it calls “a community engagement program focused on being a good neighbor and valuable partner to the communities it serves.”
The company will look to help non-profit organizations in communities served by the passenger operator, “including those that promote diversity and inclusion,” the company said in a press release. Its efforts include engaging with the community to help people understand the scope, impact, and benefits of Amtrak projects, while also accepting community feedback; supporting organizations through its “On Track for Good” program as well as through sponsorships and in-kind donations; and volunteering to lend a helping hand in the community.
“We are guided by our Values – Do the Right Thing, Put Customers First, and Excel Together –all clear expressions of our principles that align with the goals given to us by Congress,” said Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner. “This program will help us meaningfully engage with communities while building lasting partnerships that benefit the nation.”
