Equal Opportunity Employer

To Metra Applicants:

Metra is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Our goal is a diverse workplace that is highly productive, dignified and team oriented. We developed Metra’s Equal Employment Opportunity Plan in accordance with the Federal Transit Administration, Executive Order 11246 and Federal Railroad Administration guidelines. This Plan mandates a commitment to recruit, hire, promote, train and retain qualified individuals; this is especially applicable to nonwhites, females of all races, and people with disability. It does not interfere with the selection and promotion of qualified candidates nor does it interfere with the exercise of sound and valid managerial discretion.

As an equal opportunity employer, Metra provides for the rights of all applicants to be provided job opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, marital status, veteran status, unfavorable military discharge, and physical or mental disability if otherwise qualified. Metra has a Reasonable Accommodations Committee (RAC) that processes requests for accommodations pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If you believe that you have been discriminated against, harassed or retaliated against based upon any of the protected classifications listed above, in any stage of the application process, and you wish to file a complaint, please contact Metra’s EEO & Employee Relations department at 547 W. Jackson Blvd., 12 Floor, East, Chicago, Illinois 60661. In all cases, we will maintain confidentiality throughout any investigation to the extent practical and consistent with Metra’s obligation to undertake a full inquiry and to make a determination.

Sincerely,

Philip A. Pagano
Executive Director
Metra
