Amtrak makes it easy to purchase tickets for accessible space by offering various booking options:
To ensure that you get the space and accommodations you require, you must make a reservation for any of the following:
We require that you make reservations for such accommodations on all trains, including on "unreserved trains" (on which reservations for ordinary seats are not required).
Accessible space is limited. Please make your reservation as far in advance of travel as possible.
Up until 14 days prior to the departure of each train from its origin city, reservations for accessible bedrooms may be made only for passengers who have reduced mobility.
Passengers booking an accessible bedroom accommodation must certify that they requires one or more of the access features of the accessible bedroom accommodation in order to book and receive the discount. Passengers are not required to indicate the nature of their reduced mobility, only that they require the access features due to having reduced mobility.
