Subject: Amtrak and Uber Information for State Convention

Hi Everyone,
I have done some research and wanted to provide the following with you to share at our monthly Greater Daytona Beach Chapter meeting tomorrow.
Thank you Tom for getting the Uber info as well as the Tri Rail info. Bill, can you please send the below information out to the entire chapter for me? Just read on below my signature.

Thank you,

Kathy Davis
GDB Vice President

Amtrak Information for Going to State Convention

Amtrak telephone number:
(800) 872-7245

Taking A Uber from Volusia to the train station in Deland is about $60 for up to 4 people.

Out bound trains on Friday, May 24 are:
8:56 or 11:36 A.M.

Return trips from Deer Field Beach on Monday, May 27 are:
9:08 or 12:28

Round trip is $78 per person.

One way trip is $39  per person - weird but the price is a few dollars more if you ask for the disability rate)

They are aware that folks may have their guide dog and it doesn't appear that there is a limit on baggage. Just let the reservationist know if you will have a guide dog.
The rates may increase the longer folks wait to make their reservation according to the representative I spoke with by phone.

Convention goers will have to catch the Tri Rail in Deer Field to get to the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton and that is around 2 To 4 dollars and people will arrive right next to the hotel I understand. .
Folks will have to allow adequate time to leave Boca Raton on Monday and get Tri Rail train back to Deer Field beach so they can catch the Amtrak train back to Deland train station.

Of course, arrangements will have to be made to order a Uber back to Daytona Beach from Deland.


We can discuss all of this further at our chapter meeting tomorrow.
