Enhanced Cleaning Measures
- Increased Cleaning: Amtrak has increased the frequency of cleaning service at stations and on board trains to multiple times a day. Commonly used surfaces in stations such as handrails, door handles, counter tops, seating areas, and Amtrak ticket kiosks are cleaned with EPA-registered disinfectants.
- Supplies of disinfectant products: The quantity of sanitizers and disinfectant wipes available for customers and employees are available throughout the trains and at stations. Amtrak partnered with RB, the manufacturers of Lysol, to help strengthen and reinforce comprehensive disinfection protocols with products proven to be effective against cold and flu virus, including COVID-19.
At the Station and On Board:
- Face Coverings: While Amtrak passengers and employees are no longer required to wear masks while on board trains, masks are welcome and remain an important preventive measure against COVID-19. Anyone needing or choosing to wear one is encouraged to do so.
- Checked Baggage: Checked baggage service is currently suspended. You will need to bring all of your bags and luggage on board. Each passenger may bring two pieces of luggage (size limitations apply) as well as two personal items.
- Please Note: The current status of services available at stations and on board trains is subject to change at any time due to governmental requirements and/or changes to operating guidelines. If you have any outstanding questions, please call 800-USA-RAIL prior to your upcoming trip.
