WASHINGTON — “Amtrak Operations: Examining the Challenges and Opportunities for improving Efficiency and Service” is the topic of a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing set for Tuesday, June 6, at 10 a.m. EDT.
Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner is one of two witnesses scheduled to testify; the other is Mitch Warren, Northeast Corridor Commission executive director. Given the witness list, it appears Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo. ) called the hearing to get an update on Northeast Corridor infrastructure improvements and spending.
However, the Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee is chaired by Troy Nehls (R-Texas) and includes Republicans and Democrats from 18 states; all but three of the states represented are outside the Northeast Corridor.
Other information was not available Friday through the committee’s website, which will live stream the event. The site will likely have written witness testimony before the hearing begins on Tuesday.
