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.
The NRC scholarship was an important component of my undergraduate studies at St. Ambrose University. It enabled me to take an internship in physical therapy in Costa Rica the summer before my junior year. It was a rewarding experience that solidified my academic direction to become a Physical Therapist. Receiving the scholarship my senior year allowed me to reduce my working hours to focus more time on my academic studies.
