FORMER PROGRAM MANAGER CONVICTED FOR TRAVEL PASS FRAUD

A former Amtrak Program Manager based in Washington, D.C., and her sister entered into a Community Service Deferred Sentencing Agreement, in Superior Court, District of Columbia, on October 28, 2019. As part of the agreement, they agreed to each pay $2,128 in restitution to Amtrak, complete 48 hours of community service, write a letter of apology to Amtrak, and not violate any laws for six months in order to avoid sentencing for their crime. The employee was terminated on July 1, 2019, for fraudulently allowing a family member to use her company travel pass and Amtrak Identification card to frequently travel on Amtrak trains between May 2018 and June 2019.
