Youth enjoy free fares on Amtrak Cascades in Washington state

Amtrak Cascades trains in western Washington now offer free rides for passengers aged 18 and under between 12 train stations. This initiative is part of the Move Ahead Washington transportation package and the state’s Climate Commitment Act to promote train travel among youth and families. The program aims to make train travel more accessible, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Tickets must be acquired in advance for youth passengers within Washington state, with certain eligibility criteria for unaccompanied minors. The free fares are available only on Amtrak Cascades trains and buses within Washington state, with separate tickets required for journeys beyond the state borders. Ticket purchases can be made online, by phone, or at staffed stations.
