Bill > S4492

This bill, the Amtrak Transparency Act, aims to improve the transparency of Amtrak's operations. It proposes the following key provisions: 1. Requiring Amtrak's Board of Directors to provide public notice and hold open meetings, as well as convene an annual meeting with state transportation officials to discuss long-distance and state-supported routes. 2. Mandating Amtrak to publicly disclose the amount of discretionary bonuses paid to its officers and non-bargaining unit employees. 3. Obligating Amtrak to disclose, upon request, any vendor agreements valued at $250,000 or more for services procured to implement a service on a state-supported route. These changes are intended to enhance the transparency and accountability of Amtrak's operations and decision-making processes.
