Join us at the Fifth Annual summit as we meet with leaders in the passenger rail industry for discussions regarding the modernization and integration of passenger rail service in California. Since the inaugural Summit in April 2013, transportation agencies at the federal, state, and regional levels have invested billions of dollars to improve California's high-speed, commuter and intercity passenger rail services.
The program for the 2017 Summit promises to be the best yet. You will hear from experts on the status of safety initiatives, delivery and viewing of new state-of-the-art rail vehicles, and status transformative projects on the state's passenger rail network.

"On behalf of Amtrak’s onboard service staff, I want to thank the Rail Passengers Association for honoring their hard work with this award. The past couple years have indeed been difficult for Amtrak onboard service staff – coping with furloughs and job insecurity, adapting to changing protocols and services, not to mention the unfortunate events such as a tragic derailment and a fatal shooting. Nevertheless, our dedicated members at Amtrak have handled these hurdles with the care, attention and diligence for which they’re known. We thank Rail Passengers for their acknowledgement of our members’ hard work and, as always, look forward to seeing you on the rails."
