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.

"I wish to extend my appreciation to members of the Rail Passengers Association for their steadfast advocacy to protect not only the Southwest Chief, but all rail transportation which plays such an important role in our economy and local communities. I look forward to continuing this close partnership, both with America’s rail passengers and our bipartisan group of senators, to ensure a bright future for the Southwest Chief route."
