On Track for Good Program (the “Program”) Guidelines

Amtrak is committed to supporting the communities we serve. These are merely guidelines. Amtrak reserves the sole and absolute discretion to determine recipients of its charitable contributions. Amtrak may exclude or include organizations as it determines appropriate. For any additional questions, email OnTrackForGood@amtrak.com.

Each organization requesting complimentary tickets must understand and abide by the guidelines listed below:

If approved, you will be asked to present your IRS determination letter, if applicable.
  • Groups larger than 10 people will be spread out over multiple trains.
  • If your application is approved, tickets will be awarded and scheduled based on availability.
