IS TRAIN TRAVEL A WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY

ALTERNATIVE TO FLYING OR DRIVING?


Dr. Christopher Rosa praises the new Acela cars for wider aisles, more integrated accessible seating, and better shock absorbers for a smooth ride.

“From my home in Queens, I can take an accessible bus to the Long Island Railroad to the Amtrak station. From there, I can get to DC, Boston, and Philly,” he says.

“For most of my life, I couldn’t take trips independently.

I can’t tell you how liberating it is to be totally independent.”

While the heavily traveled Northeast corridor has many modern, accessible train cars, experiences on trains can vary in other regions.
