Children 16 and older can travel unaccompanied without restriction, but must have valid photo identification when purchasing tickets and when on board the train or when riding buses.
Children who are 13, 14, or 15 may travel unaccompanied in accordance with Amtrak’s Unaccompanied Minor Policy. This policy includes the conditions that travel must be between two staffed stations and may not include travel on connecting bus service. You can read the full policy at
www.amtrak.com.
Children 12 years old and under are required to be
accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old.
Please be advised that Oakland Jack
London (OKJ) and Martinez (MTZ) stations no longer handle unaccompanied minors
for travel on Capitol Corridor trains. Unaccompanied minors may travel between
other staffed stations, Sacramento (SAC), Davis (DAV), Emeryville (EMY), and
San Jose Diridon (SJC).
