Title About

Handicap and Bicycle Access

Care will be taken to ensure that Rail Runner service will be accessible and usable by everyone in the community, including those who are physically impaired. The platforms have wheelchair ramps (called mini-hi's) to assist entry onto the trains, and several of the cars are equipped with ADA accessible restrooms and wheelchair locks.

Bicycles Welcome

Trains come equipped with bicycle racks so you can ride your bike to and from each station. Each train will have space for at least two bicycles, and bike racks can be found at each station.

Things Bicyclists Should Know

  • If you have a valid Rail Runner ticket, you may board a single rider standard style bicycle at no extra cost.
  • Each train will be able to accommodate up to 12 bicycles.  While each passenger car has space dedicated for two bicycles (for a total of four per train) additional space in the areas reserved for wheelchairs may be available. Naturally, priority here is given to the passengers in wheelchairs. The bicycle storage area is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Train conductors will direct you to available space. You must follow instructions of Rail Runner train crews. Rail Runner staff will make every reasonable effort to accommodate as many bicycles on the train as possible.
  • Bicycle parking is available at each of the train stations.
  • Please keep your bicycle in the designated spaces and out of the isles.
  • Secure your bicycle with the straps or make sure it is held.
  • Keep your bicycle clean and free of projections that could damage the train or cause an injury.
  • Let passengers without bicycles board and disembark first.
  • Do not ride your bicycle on board the train or on the station platforms.
  • You are responsible for any damage to the train's equipment and/or for any injury or damage to other passengers or train personnel that result from negligence.  The Rail Runner will not be liable for damaged or stolen bicycles.

Two Bicycles Secured on the Train
