GENERAL INFORMATION<br />

Seniors & People with Disabilities<br />

Here is a partial list of features that make it easy for seniors and<br />

people with disabilities to use the New Mexico Rail Runner<br />

Express (NMRX):<br />

For passengers with limited mobility:<br />

• All NMRX stations provide level boarding from the platform<br />

onto trains. Notify the nearest staff member if you need<br />

assistance boarding the train.<br />

• All NMRX cars have dedicated space near the doors for<br />

wheelchairs and designated priority seating.<br />

For vision-impaired passengers:<br />

• Textured rubber tiles along the length of each train platform<br />

warn passengers when they are close to the platform edge.<br />

These tiles may be detected with a cane or foot.<br />

• Train conductors routinely announce the name of the<br />

next station over the public address system.<br />

Things to Know (continued)<br />

• Service animals are welcome at NMRX stations and on<br />

the trains.<br />

Bicycles on the NMRX:<br />

• Passengers may bring a standard-style, non-motorized<br />

bicycle on board for free.<br />

• Each passenger car has dedicated space for bicycles.<br />

Additional space in the areas reserved for wheelchairs may<br />

be available. Priority is given to passengers in wheelchairs.<br />

• Bicycle storage is available on a first-come, first-served basis.<br />

• Do not ride your bicycle on the train or the platforms.<br />

• Keep your bicycle in designated spaces and out of the aisles.<br />

• Always follow instructions from train personnel.<br />

• Bicycle parking racks are available at each station.<br />

• NMRX is not liable for damaged or stolen bicycles.<br />
