The U.S. Department of Transportation has issued a final rule to improve accessibility for transit users with disabilities, effective from January 17, 2025. The rule aligns with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and sets standards for new or rebuilt public transit stops and shelters. The aim is to standardize accessibility and benefit transit users, with the DOT not adding further restrictions on transit station designs despite concerns raised by commenters. Additionally, the DOT has taken various actions to enhance accessibility for public transit users and travelers, including funding projects for accessibility improvements and working with Amtrak to increase accessibility at train stations.
