(Under the agreement, Amtrak committed to complying with the ADA and making intercity rail stations accessible.)</p><p>Amtrak must also include a status report on ADA compliance at Amtrak-served stations (based on a station assessment by Amtrak or the party responsible for ADA compliance). &nbsp;A station assessment means a review of all components of a station, including the building, platform, path to train, and parking areas, as required by the U.S. Access Board. For those Amtrak-served stations where Amtrak is not responsible for ADA compliance, Amtrak must include in the report information on the responsible party.</p><!--tinycomments|2.1|data:application/json;base64,eyJtY2UtY29udmVyc2F0aW9uXzE1MDY2ODc0MTAxNzE3NDQ1NDg0MjIzIjp7InVpZCI6Im1jZS1jb252ZXJzYXRpb25fMTUwNjY4NzQxMDE3MTc0NDU0ODQyMjMiLCJjb21tZW50cyI6W3sidWlkIjoibWNlLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbl8xNTA2Njg3NDEwMTcxNzQ0NTQ4NDIyMyIsImF1dGhvciI6Im5jaHVyY2hpbGxAbGliLmxvYy5nb3YiLCJhdXRob3JOYW1lIjoibmNodXJjaGlsbEBsaWIubG9jLmdvdiIsImNvbnRlbnQiOiJDb3BpZWQgZnJvbSBINjI0OHY1MyIsImNyZWF0ZWRBdCI6IjIwMjQtMDYtMDNUMjA6MTE6MjQuMjIzWiIsIm1vZGlmaWVkQXQiOiIyMDI0LTA2LTAzVDIwOjExOjI0LjIyM1oifV19fQ==-->
