🎉 Did You Miss It? We've officially broken ground on the "S-Line" from Raleigh, N.C., to Richmond, Va. This transformative project, fueled by President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and a substantial $1.1 billion @Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) grant, promises to revolutionize train travel between North Carolina and Virginia. Amtrak President Roger Harris joined with U.S. Department of Transportation - Office of the Under Secretary for Policy Pete Buttigieg, Governor Roy Cooper, Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Amit Bose, NCDOT officials and other distinguished partners to celebrate this project that will provide a world-class passenger rail service. This route will save travelers an estimated 90 minutes per trip and connect the southern states more efficiently to the Nation's Capital and the Northeast.    #SLine #Infrastructure #NCDOT #trains #Amtrak

Amtrak celebrates Disability Pride Month this July! We commemorate, honor, and recognize the achievements, resilience, and unique contributions of people with disabilities – our colleagues, customers, and those within our communities. This month, we also commemorate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) signed into law on July 26, 1990, which was enacted to combat discrimination based on disabilities. Whether you identify as a person with a disability or as an ally, at Amtrak, embracing Disability Pride allows us to challenge stereotypes, advocate for accessibility, and foster a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and empowered. It’s one of the reasons why we earned a top score in 2023 by the Disability Equality Index. #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityPrideMonth #InclusionMaterrs #DiversityAndInclustion #Amtrak #AmtrakInclusivity http://spr.ly/60429yw52

BIG news! Construction of the new Connecticut River Bridge will begin later this year, now that we’ve awarded the construction contract to a Joint Venture of O&G Industries, Inc. and Tutor Perini Corporation. The new Connecticut River Bridge will improve reliability and reduce delays for Amtrak’s intercity services, Connecticut Shore Line East commuter service and freight operators along the Northeast Corridor (NEC), America’s busiest rail corridor. We appreciate the Biden-Harris Administration and Federal Railroad Administration for the historic funding that has enabled this project and others along the NEC to advance from planning to construction, as well as Senator Blumenthal, Senator Murphy, Governor Lamont and the & Connecticut Department of Transportation for their continued support and partnership.
