Partners in Community
On a grassroots level, BNSF employees are involved
in a wide-range of community activities, from serving
nonprofits to coordinating local holiday toy drives and
fundraisers. Individual efforts are supported by an
active BNSF Railway Foundation.
We celebrate our rich history in communities. One
such community is San Bernardino, where at the end
of 2010, 5,000 BNSF employees and local citizens
gathered to commemorate the 125th anniversary of
the first train traveling through Cajon Pass, located
between the San Gabriel and San Bernardino
mountains. BNSF’s gift to the community on
this special occasion was a major investment for
beautification in the city of San Bernardino.
On a broader level, we work in close partnership
with other rail companies, federal, state and local
governments, businesses and local citizens to
develop
smart projects that deliver
wide-ranging benefits to the
communities we serve.
These include
lower shipping costs, reduced highway gridlock,
enhanced mobility, improved safety and lower fuel
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
