The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced an agreement with the City of Fresno Tuesday over compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The settlement involves ADA violations at the Fresno Amtrak rail station at 2650 Tulare St., which is owned by the City of Fresno and built in 1899.

Under the agreement, the city made accessibility modifications to exterior and interior portions of the station, including repairs to curb ramps, the waiting room, and the station’s restrooms, said U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert.

The agreement is part of a nationwide effort by the Department of Justice to improve accessibility at the nation’s rail stations. In 2020, the Department of Justice also entered into a nationwide settlement with Amtrak regarding ADA compliance at its stations.

“This agreement is a part of the Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to bring entities that own or operate intercity rail stations into compliance with the ADA,” U.S. Attorney Talbert said. “Our office is pleased these changes have been made and will continue seeking to ensure that conditions at the station afford equal access to transportation, including as future remodeling takes place.”

A message left seeking comment from a City of Fresno spokesperson was not returned Tuesday.
