Long & Short Term Parking
There has been a lot of discussion regarding the recent increase in long and short term parking increases. It was our hope that the tariff would have been fully approved by the end of April so that everyone would have had ample time to plan accordingly. Unfortunately, due to the number of people internally, at Amtrak that must approve the tariff, it wasn’t fully approved until later than the date we expected.
Therefore, in an effort to give anyone the opportunity to re-locate their car or make alternate plans, we will defer the implementation of the new long and short term rates until July 1, 2007. At that time, these new rates will be in effect.
All other rates that were quoted in the new tariff are effective on June 1st.
California Zephyr – Summer Re-route
Beginning July 10 through August 8 on Sunday through Wednesday of each week, California Zephyr Trains 5 and 6 will operate on an alternate route between Denver and Salt Lake City due to track work being performed by Union Pacific Railroad.

Sunday Through Wednesday Detour Schedule Between
