Train FOOD Act

This bill requires Amtrak to establish an advisory committee within one year to oversee improvements to onboard dining services. The committee, including Amtrak staff, food service unions, passenger groups, and states funding routes, will review Amtrak’s progress on implementing food service recommendations. Amtrak must then submit annual reports to Congress detailing which recommendations are completed, which are deemed impractical (with cost estimates if funding is insufficient), and changes to dining services. A separate Government Accountability Office report will also assess Amtrak’s progress after two years. The bill directly affects Amtrak’s food service operations and involves multiple stakeholders in the oversight process.
