Passenger Rail - Amtrak

Amtrak connects the Piedmont Triad to destinations across North Carolina and the East Coast, offering a comfortable, car-free way to travel for work, school, or leisure. Stations in Greensboro, High Point, and Burlington link directly to Charlotte, Raleigh, and Washington D.C. on the Carolinian and Piedmont routes — making regional and long-distance travel both convenient and sustainable.

The Ride the Triad Intercity Map highlights how Amtrak and regional bus systems work together to expand travel options throughout the Triad. Whether you’re commuting between cities, planning a weekend trip, or connecting through NC by Rail to explore more of North Carolina, the Triad’s network of trains and buses makes getting there part of the experience.
