Rail Passengers Association Membership Discount

Rail Passengers Association (RPA) members are eligible to receive a 10% discount on the lowest available rail fare on most Amtrak trains. Visit the Rail Passengers Association web site for information about becoming a member.

To use the Rail Passengers Association discount, you must book your tickets (including tickets for travel on unreserved trains) at least three days in advance of travel.

If you make any change to your itinerary, you must re-qualify for any membership discount used. This means that, to be eligible to receive an applicable membership discount, any change to your itinerary must be made at least three days in advance of travel.

You must present your current, valid Rail Passengers Association membership card at the time your tickets are issued. Conductors may ask to see your membership card during your trip. Please carry your card with you onboard. Members with “Family” membership cards must each carry their own card with them.

To take advantage of this discount when booking your travel online:

• Use the Fare Finder at the beginning of your search and select 'Rail Passengers Association' for each passenger as appropriate. Then, enter your membership number on the 'Passenger Information' page of the booking process.
• Or, in your user profile, select 'Rail Passengers Association' in the 'Travel Profile' section, and enter your membership number.
