Note: Amtrak's new, enhanced safety initiatives will continue to be in effect for customers and employees on its trains and stations, including its measures to deliver a "new standard of travel." Protocols include:
- Face coverings: Amtrak requires all customers and employees wear face masks or an alternative face covering while in stations and on board.
- Limiting bookings: Amtrak is limiting bookings on most trains to allow for more physical distancing in seating areas
- Air Quality: All trains are equipped with onboard filtration systems with a fresh air exchange rate every four to five minutes
- Physical distancing: Signage has been displayed at Amtrak's busiest stations to indicate safe distances in high traffic areas; in addition, protective plastic barriers have been installed at customer counters
Tickets are currently for sale and can be found, along with current schedules, on www.amtrak.com and through the Amtrak app; all prices will be automatically discounted from the standard fare price.
