  • Amtrak Security Measures
    Amtrak Security Measures PROTECTING AMERICA’S RAILROAD® Amtrak is working hard to protect America’s Railroad® and improve resiliency of passenger rail across the country. Through a multi-layered approach, Amtrak uses enhanced security measures to make it harder for those who seek to do harm to our passengers, employees, equipment and facilities and ensure an efficient response to potential threats. This multi-layered approach includes deployment of Amtrak Police Department officers and intelligence gathering activities; protection of critical rail assets through targeted access control and infrastructure protection measures; security awareness, training and exercises; consistent engagement with first responders and transit partners; and security program planning rooted in risk management principles to ensure effective implementation of mitigation strategies. These efforts are led collaboratively by the Amtrak Emergency Management and Corporate Security (EMCS) department and the Amtrak Police Department (APD) with involvement of leadership and each department across Amtrak. AMTRAK ENVIRONMENT Because of advantages such as easy access, convenient locations and intermodal connections, rail and mass transit systems are completely different from the structure and organization of the airline transportation and airport industry. As a result, the security framework that works in the airport setting is not easily transferable to the rail station system. Additionally, the vastness of the Amtrak passenger rail system, spanning the entire country, adds another layer of openness not seen in other passenger systems. To mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with this unique type of an open environment, Amtrak consistently evaluates its security measures, as well as industry standards and best practices, to employ security solutions that are effective in mitigating these vulnerabilities.

(Amtrak) / DeJoseph / 1-0080-11-061 Dear Ms. Kinsey: This is to advise you that we have completed our investigation of the above-referenced complaint filed by Mr. Michael DeJoseph (Complainant) against The National Railroad Passenger Corporation “Respondent” on August 3, 2011, under the Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA), 49 U.S.C. §20109. In brief, Complainant alleged that he was terminated after raising safety and health concerns, violations of laws, regulations, and rules to Respondent. Following an investigation by a duly-authorized investigator, the Secretary of Labor, acting through his agent, the Acting Regional Administrator for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Region 1, finds there is reasonable cause to believe that Respondent violated the FRSA and issues the following findings: Secretary’s Findings On or about June 24, 2011, Complainant contends that he suffered an adverse employment action because Respondent failed to place him into positions for which he applied, was qualified, and instead terminated his employment. On August 3, 2011, Complainant filed a complaint with the Secretary of Labor alleging that Respondent retaliated against him in violation of the FRSA. As this complaint was filed within 180 days of the alleged adverse action, it is deemed timely.
