How to take TRAX

Before boarding the trains, buy your train ticket from a ticket machine or pay fare with a contactless credit/debit card (by tapping on a reader at the station before boarding and after exiting). TRAX uses the proof of payment system and passengers caught without a valid ticket or pass are subject to eviction and/or citation.

The doors are not opened automatically when the train is stopped at the station. Riders need to press the green button by the train door to open it.

Bicycle access

Bicyclists must board through the front and rear doors of each car in the train (excluding the car end directly behind the train operator). Look for the bicycle symbol on the door and on the platform. Bicyclists must stand with the bicycle at all times. If the train is too full, you may need to wait for the next train. Cyclists are not permitted to board and exit through the access ramp.

Disabled access

TRAX is accessible to people with disabilities at all stations. There are two types of trains (high floor and low floor). High floor trains operate exclusively on the Blue Line seven days a week. The low floor trains run on the Red and Green lines at all times.

To board the high floor trains, riders in wheelchair or other mobility device should wait on the access ramp by the forward end of the platform.

To board low floor trains, riders in wheelchair or other mobility device should wait on the main platform and board through any of the two center doors of each car. Push the blue button on the train door to open the door and deploy the boarding ramp (the rider needs to move back from the platform and ramp extends).
