"As of July 2023, Amtrak has only brought 30 percent of their 385 stations its responsible for into ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] compliance. Yet, we continue to fund Amtrak's investment to move ADA projects. In fact, IIJA itself included an additional $1.74 billion. Can you commit to the Department to more aggressively enforcing Amtrak's necessity to meet the ADA requirements?"
