Editing Amtrak (section)

==Leadership==
{{Update section|date=September 2024}}
In addition to the [[United States Secretary of Transportation]] and its CEO, Amtrak's Board of Directors has eight presidentially-nominated and senate-confirmed seats. Presidentially-appointed members serve nominally five-year terms but are allowed to serve until their successor is confirmed, and no more than five of the eight may belong to one political party. Of the eight presidentially-appointed members, a minimum of two must and maximum of four may reside along or near the [[Northeast Corridor]] (defined as Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island), while the other four to six must reside in a state served by an Amtrak-operated long-distance or state-supported route outside of the Northeast Corridor. At least one of these eight must be an individual with a disability.<ref name="USC">{{USCode|49|24302}}</ref>

The Secretary may be represented at Board meetings by their designee.<ref name="USC" />
