responsibility are advanced to the highest priority while planning and agreements on other
stations are advanced.
o Timing. The scheduling of projects is controlled by the design, funding and agreement process.
As such, program plans for future years will be advanced as later update reports are developed
and released.
o Funding. As the program planning advances and project scopes and designs are advanced for
each year of Amtrak’ s ADA station compliance program, funding requirements become more
clearly defined.
o Linkage to Station Improvement plans. Many jurisdictions that own stations have plans for
expansion, modification, and/or investments to create intermodal transportation centers or other
commercial development concepts. Incorporation of ADA improvement elements that are
Amtrak’ s responsibility into other agency plans will require considerable coordination and could
complicate the scoping and agreement process.
Fleet Programs
To ensure that adequate rolling stock is in place to safely meet operating needs, Amtrak created the
“Amtrak Fleet Strategy” and published an update in February 2011. The FY2012 update will be released
in February 2012. In addition to operating requirements and state of good repair needs, this plan will
identify “baseline” capacity needs and state of good repair requirements for the fleet and identifies the
numbers and types of equipment that will be required to address projected growth on existing and planned
services through 2024.
The following table shows the planned units to be ‘shopped’ in maintenance shops for maintenance and
overhaul activity.
