Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Launches News Reward Program for Travelers

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - The summer travelers on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner are getting a chance to win prizes for stopping at multiple stations.

The 'Endless Escapes' collectible sticker map program encourages passengers to pick up a free physical passport-style sticker map and collect limited-edition destination and train stickers.

The maps can be found on each train in the Café Car, at selected cars and at some special community events, including the California Wine Festival – which took place last weekend in Santa Barbara. The booth was very busy with interested train riders.

There are limited-edition stickers available at the station sites that will match up with a passport foldout map.

After collecting a qualifying number of stickers you can enter a sweepstakes for round-trip tickets and branded swag packs.

The train service has also been expanded in recent months from Los Angeles to Goleta with more daily trips.

The program is coordinated through LOSSAN, the agency that manages a 351-mile coastal route that connects San Diego, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. It is the second busiest intercity rail corridor in the U.S.
