arrive is Amtrak's onboard magazine for business travelers. It provides millions of passengers with vital information and welcome entertainment to help make most of visits to the major destination cities of the Northeastern United States.

arrive is published bimonthly and delivers constant exposure on all Northeast trains as well as the ClubAcela station lounges. Its goal is to provide a unique and intelligent view of America's most compelling urban centers of commerce, government and the arts.

The tone of the magazine is entertaining yet informative, casual yet consuming. It is the perfect travel partner—a knowledgeable guide and an entertaining companion. And for Amtrak's time-sensitive riders, it is always available within arm's reach ... it is the only magazine within reach.

arrive delivers equally compelling value to advertisers. It reaches and influences a unique and valuable audience at precisely the moment when it is most receptive to a wide variety of business-, travel- and entertainment-related ad messages. And arrive readers are downtown visitors—that's why they use Amtrak and Acela. No other magazine delivers such a targeted audience of affluent visitors to Northeast cities.

Our Great American Stations

Amtrak’s role as a travel provider continues to grow as a record number of passengers are choosing trains over other forms of transportation. Train travel is also solidifying its position as one of the most preferred modes of transportation for people with disabilities—a responsibility we embrace as a company and one we take very seriously.

During the 1990s, Amtrak upgraded its trains to make them fully accessible according to standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Since then, we have turned our attention to stations.

I’m happy to report that a majority of the stations we serve currently off er full- or barrier-free access and most of our passengers travel through these locations. But that’s not good enough, so making sure every facility is upgraded to be fully accessible remains a primary focus.

To that end, an Amtrak interdepartmental team has been conducting condition and accessibility assessments of stations on all routes and developing programs to make sure all locations are or will be made accessible as soon as possible. Surveys and periodic meetings with national disability organizations have also helped us focus our station improvement efforts. Amtrak, however, owns less than 20 percent of the 527 stations we serve, making this a complicated endeavor.

Stations, parking lots and train platforms at any one location often have mixed ownership that could include the local government, freight railroads and other private entities. We want to make sure these owners are aware of their responsibilities and fi nancial requirements, which is why we’ve been working with Congress and state legislatures while reaching out to communities through a series of station improvement workshops in the form of town hall meetings. Two years ago, we also created a comprehensive station improvement website (GreatAmericanStations.com) to help guide communities through this process.

As a result of these meetings, over a dozen ownership groups have started the process of station improvement ventures. As more workshops are held, we expect this number to grow signifi cantly.

The result of this cooperation between Amtrak and local organizations will not only benefit passengers with disabilities but will also return refurbished stations to these communities, which often become the catalyst for spawning economic development for the entire region. In that way, everybody benefits.

Thanks for riding with us today. If there’s anything we can do to make your trip more enjoyable, please let a member of the onboard crew know.

Sincerely,
Alex Kummant
President and
Chief Executive Officer
