Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner is stepping down “to ensure that Amtrak continues to enjoy the full faith and confidence of this administration.”
“I am so proud of what the Amtrak team has accomplished to bring passenger rail service to more people and places across the country over these past 16 years, and I thank the Board for their trust and support,” Gardner said in a statement.
“We did a lot together to make Amtrak safer, more modern, and a better travel experience for all our customers,” Gardner added. “From my start as an Amtrak intern back in the 1990s to ending as CEO, it has been my honor and privilege to lead this great American company, and I wish Amtrak every success.”
Gardner took over as Amtrak’s CEO in 2022.
“As Stephen departs today, we thank him for his 16 years of service to Amtrak,” the Amtrak Board said in a statement. “We will build on his accomplishments and wish him every success. We look forward to working with President Trump and Secretary Duffy as we build the world-class passenger rail system this country deserves.”
