The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC) is paying close attention to the COVID-19 outbreak spanning the globe. Our primary objective is to prioritize safety in all that we do and urge all NRC members and their families to take appropriate actions to protect their employees, their families and the public community.
The NRC joins with other U.S. associations, companies, and agencies in supporting the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) safety recommendations, found here. For more information on how employers should respond to the outbreak, please click here.
Even during these concerning times, the NRC is aware that our members have a continuing and crucial responsibility to help construct our nation’s railroads and rail-transit lines. We also know the importance of a seamless rail network to the public health of this nation. We are in habitual contact with the FRA on this matter and will relay any pertinent information that we receive.
Thank you for your ongoing work to keep our economy moving and our people safe. We urge you to practice safety in all you do and to take all recommended protective measures so together we can help flatten the curve.
"Receiving the NRC scholarship was monumental to my success at the University of Connecticut both academically and professionally. Receiving this award has not only alleviated the financial burden of my education, but has also given me the confidence to pursue my goals. It’s incredibly inspiring to know that organizations like the NRC are willing to invest in the future of students like me. Their support has made a lasting impact on my college experience, and I’m deeply grateful to have been selected as a recipient."
