**Washington, D.C.** – Amtrak has teamed up with Google to make train travel a more accessible and environmentally friendly option for travelers. This new partnership allows users to seamlessly view Amtrak departure times, trip durations, and fares directly within Google Search results.
The integration means that when a user searches for travel between two Amtrak destinations, they will see Amtrak options alongside other transportation choices. Google will also suggest train travel as an alternative when travelers are searching for flights, encouraging a more sustainable approach to intercity travel.
“This integration makes it even easier for users to find rail options for their travel needs while also potentially lowering their carbon emissions,” said Amtrak President Roger Harris. He emphasized the role of rail travel in addressing climate change by offering a sustainable alternative to cars and planes.
With this integration, travelers can now directly book their Amtrak tickets through Google Search. Once a user has selected their desired train route, they can click through to Amtrak.com to complete the booking process without needing to re-enter their trip information. This streamlined experience aims to make choosing Amtrak a more convenient and appealing choice for travelers.
