Volunteers Getting It Done!
March 6, 2026
by Jim Mathews / President & CEO
From getting a handle on our internal tech assets to advancing our in-house economic-benefits modeling, our new Professional Staff volunteers are making a real, tangible difference every day here at the Rail Passengers Association.
I couldn’t be more proud of all the great things they’re accomplishing on behalf of everyone in America who wants more and better trains, everywhere. And pretty soon, you’ll see their work in our marketing materials, promotional messages, and in standing up our new Consumer Affairs advocacy team.
You can meet the team, at least virtually, by checking out our new Team page, highlighting our Professional Staff, our Board of Directors, and our elected Council of Representatives, as well as our governing documents as an IRS-recognized nonprofit. As more join us, we’ll be adding to that page, so check back frequently. And if you have an idea or question about a particular subject area, a quick check of our Meet the Team page will help you discover the right person to contact.

"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
