National Railroad Passenger Corporation (NRPC)

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (NRPC), commonly known as Amtrak, is a government-funded organization that operates passenger train services across the United States. It was created to provide safe, reliable, and efficient rail travel, offering routes that connect major cities and regions. Unlike freight railroads, which carry goods, Amtrak focuses on transporting people. It is subsidized by the government to promote transportation alternatives, reduce road congestion, and support economic development. Amtrak's commitment is to provide comfortable, sustainable rail travel options that complement other forms of transportation nationwide.
