STB ranks high as federal workplace

For the third consecutive year, the Partnership for Public ranked the Surface Transportation Board No. 1 on its Best Places to Work list among federal agencies with fewer than 2,000 workers. The STB, which is responsible for the economic regulation of railroads, has 141 employees. 

"The ‘STB Way’ is a culture of collaboration, collegiality, and innovation. It’s a focus on getting the job done,” said STB Chairman Daniel R. ElliottIII, as he announced the award on Wednesday. “Every employee should be proud of our ranking and what it says about their dedication and hard work.”

This was the fifth year of the survey, conducted by the Partnership for Public Service along with The American University’s Institute for the Study of Public Policy Implementation.
