Greetings!

 

For those of you with Internet-capable i-devices, check out the new AMTRAK
iPhone app in the App Store. It's really cool and a lot easier to navigate
than the AMTRAK web site. So far as I have been able to ascertain to date,
the app is *very* accessible.

 

Incidentally, pay no mind to some of the lackluster reviews: some complained
that one's AMTRAK Guest Rewards account wasn't automatically attached to
one's profile on the app. Not so. AS soon as I logged in, I was able to
access my AMTRAK profile and everything showed up fine including my AMTRAK
Guest Rewards number, points and status. And I was able to make some profile
modifications much more easily than I could on the web site which is very
accessible but somewhat awkward to use.

 

IMO AMTRAK has done a better job at accessibility for the blind than most
other transportation providers.
