Accessibility

Caltrain strives to make riding the train easy and safe for all customers, especially those with special mobility needs.

Riding with a Disability:

Using a Wheelchair:
Every train has at least one wheelchair accessible car that can accommodate up to three wheelchairs/mobility devices.

Two-wheeled Mobility Devices:
Customers with disabilities may bring an Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Device, such as a Segway on Caltrain if the device is used as a mobility device.

Service Animals:
Service animals, such as guide dogs, may accompany persons with disabilities in San Mateo County Transit District facilities, on the vehicles operated by or for the district and on Caltrain.
