Key Points

  • This bill would require Amtrak to publicly list the yearly base salary and any bonus money paid to its top leaders. This includes the CEO, the president, and other high-level officers.
  • Amtrak would have to post this information on its official website so anyone can see it. Currently, this information is reported to Congress, but this change makes it easily available to the general public.
  • The goal is to make the taxpayer-funded train service more transparent. Along with the dollar amounts, Amtrak must also explain the specific goals or rules they used to decide why an executive earned a bonus.
  • The House of Representatives has already passed this bill, and it is now being considered by the Senate. If it becomes law, it would change how the company reports its financial details every year.
