What is the approved age range for unaccompanied minors traveling on Amtrak?

The approved age range for unaccompanied minors traveling on Amtrak is indeed 13 to 15 years old. This policy is designed to ensure that minors are old enough to manage their travel independently while still receiving additional support from the train staff if needed. Amtrak has specific guidelines in place for unaccompanied minors, which address safety and assistance during travel.

The rationale behind the chosen age range is to find a balance between independence and the need for supervision. Minors who fall within this age group may have the maturity levels required to navigate travel while still benefiting from the structured environment of Amtrak’s services. Therefore, a traveler who is 13 to 15 years old will have access to procedures that will treat their journey with the appropriate level of care and oversight.
