Amtrak will have to reduce passenger service beginning in January unless more employees abide by the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate which takes effect in January, according to The Associated Press.
Travelers make their way to board an Amtrak train ahead of the Thanksgiving Day holiday at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pa., on November 24, 2021.Amtrak is set to reduce service on some lines in Jan. due to the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
However, the White House says that it will vigorously stand up for its mandate for employees of federal contractors in court.The Wall Street Journal that if the mandate was still blocked on January 4, then the rail system's mandate would remain in effect for that date. "We anticipate proactively needing to temporarily reduce some train frequencies across our network in January to avoid staffing-related cancellations — with our plan to fully restore all frequencies by March, or as soon as we have qualified employees available," he told lawmakers at a hearing of the House transportation subcommittee on railroads, pipelines and hazardous materials.
