35-second read · 4 questions answered below

What does this do?

This bill requires Amtrak to post on its website the base salary and bonus pay of its executive leadership team, including the CEO and president. It also requires Amtrak to explain the criteria and performance metrics used to decide bonus amounts. Currently this information goes only to Congress, not the public.

Who does it affect?

Amtrak's executive leadership, including the CEO and president, are directly affected. The public, journalists, and watchdog groups reviewing Amtrak's use of federal funding are also affected.

Why does it matter?

This increases transparency about how taxpayer-supported Amtrak spends money on executive compensation. It does not change how much executives are paid, only what pay information must be disclosed publicly.
