Amtrak raises bar, makes ticketing kiosks ADA compliant
• 16 May 2007
After 10 years of successful ticketing, Amtrak embarked on its second generation of self-service ticketing. Amtrak's new line of ticketing kiosks, designed by KIOSK Information Systems, includes a security camera, barcode and credit-card readers, dual printers, encrypted PIN pad, and updates to meet the needs of visually impaired users.
Amtrak opted to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines — a move above and beyond what is required in the industry. The new kiosk line incorporates Braille and specially adapted headsets.
