Most accessible car doors have opening and closing annunciators, sensitive door edges and blinking lights indicating the doors are closing. Most stations have a public address system to announce if the train is more than 10 minutes late or if there is an emergency. All key stations and new stations will have electronic message boards. On the train, stops are announced on a public address system. Look for the Caltrain system map posted at the station, on the train near the vestibule doors and in the Caltrain pocket timetable to determine where your station is on the Caltrain line.
All stations have signs on the platform indicating the name of the station.
Travel Training Caltrain offers travel training, free of charge, to teach people with disabilities how to ride the train. Each accessible car can accommodate two wheelchairs. Most trains have a new accessible car with accessible restrooms and on-board wheelchair lifts. The older accessible cards do not have a restroom and use the mobile wheelchair lifts on the station platform. If a train already has the maximum number of wheelchair users on board, the conductor will ask you to wait for the next train.
