CSX aims to be a good neighbor by operating responsibly, generating economic opportunities, and giving back to communities along the company’s network. With increasing consumer demand, the need for freight rail as a safe, reliable and sustainable transportation solution is ever more pressing. As the most fuel-efficient mode of freight transportation on land, rail will continue to enable significant emission reductions and help drive economic prosperity. While CSX operates in many kinds of communities, the company’s focus remains constant. CSX has an unwavering commitment to the safety, the service of its customers, the disciplined utilization of assets, and the development of people and the communities where the company operates. exceptional service and meeting their demand. In 2022, we transported approximately 3.3 million carloads and 3 million intermodal containers of goods, and we are taking steps to do even more in 2023. The key to our success is having the right people in place – a challenge we and others faced during the pandemic. By the end of 2022, we had nearly reached our target of hiring 7,000 active train-and-engine employees and eclipsed that goal in the first days of 2023. CSX takes pride in the communities where we live, work and serve. We also recognize and honor the sacrifices of our nation’s military, veterans and first responders. Through our Pride in Service community investment initiative, we are serving those who serve and helping to build resilient communities. In 2022, we supported more than 315,000 first responders and military-connected family members through our partnerships, programs and employee volunteers. We were proud to receive the Constance J. Milstein Philanthropic Award from our partner, Blue Star Families, an expression of the impact we are honored to help carry forward.
