The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC) recognized exemplary contractors as recipients of its 2025 “Safe Contractor of the Year” awards on January 8, 2026, at its annual conference in Hollywood, Florida. Fifty-eight winning contractors earned platinum, gold, silver, or bronze awards for their safety performance during the prior year.
The NRC is making it easy for award winners to share this important recognition with others by featuring a special graphic that you can feature in your email signature, on social media, on your company’s website, or in bid proposals.
Simply go to the conference media kit page on our website and scroll down to find the appropriate graphic for your company: platinum, gold, silver or bronze. Download the graphic and post it in your electronic and print communications to start getting the positive acknowledgment your company and its employees deserve.
"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."
