Amtrak Executive Bonus Disclosure Act

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: Amtrak would be required to publicly disclose the base salaries and bonuses of its top executives, including its CEO, president, and other senior officers, on its website. Each annual report would also have to explain the exact performance goals and metrics used to award those bonuses. This gives taxpayers and train riders direct access to see how executive pay is decided at the federally funded rail service.
