Amtrak paid $2.25 million to more than 1,500 people as part of a disability discrimination lawsuit settlement, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.The train operator and the DOJ reached the agreement in December 2020 over Americans With Disabilities Act violations — which saw people with disabilities encounter "significant accessibility issues" at 78 specified stations across the U.S.
In the next nine years, Amtrak is required to complete designs to make at least 135 of its existing stations accessible, complete construction at 90 of those stations, and begin construction at 45 more," the Justice Department said in its statement.
