This article details how a Network Operator can request support from the RIW Program to distribute email communications to specific audiences of Rail Industry Workers and their employers.  The request also captures any actions required by the RIW Service Desk to support the communications.

Network Operators are encouraged to manage their own communications. The Rail Industry Worker Program can support where visibility of the audience cohort cannot be achieved with their permission as per the RIW System Hierarchy and cardholder relationship.

Please allow up to 5 business days for any request for communications.
