]]> This Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Black Vault in January of 2022, asked for the most recent AMTRAK “Reservation, Ticking and Station Procedures (RTSP) Manual.”  This document was never available to the general public, at least, it was never found by The Black Vault when it was first sought after in 2017. The case was closed due to AMTRAK sending a “still interested?” letter which was overlooked so the case was never processed. A new cased filed in January of 2022, case 22-FOI-00090, then yielded the document below.

It came in with each page numbered on its own pdf file. They were combined in the order they received (1,200+ files) and are presented below in an easier to read single .pdf file.

]]> Background

This report presents the results of our investigation into allegations that the following Amtrak (the company) employees violated company policy by accepting paid trips from W.W. Grainger Inc. (Grainger), an industrial supply distributor, to its annual trade show (Grainger Show) in Orlando, Florida while involved with procuring products from Grainger

Conclusions

Our investigation found that company employees improperly accepted gifts from Grainger, a contractor doing business with the company and, thus, violated or acted inconsistently with the Ethical Conduct and Conflict of Interest policy. Further, they failed to disclose these gifts on their respective Certificates of Compliance.

Mitigating these violations, however, is the role local management played in “approving” these trips. Notably, as discussed below they failed to recognize
Grainger’s offer directly implicated the company’s ethics policy. As a result, they did not aggressively develop the facts, circumstances, and implications of these trips, nor did they seek assistance from the Law department, which has staff cognizance over the company’s ethics policy.
