Ferreyra and Marsh v. National Railroad Passenger Corporation ("Amtrak")
In an amicable settlement, Amtrak agreed to introduce new discounts, reservations policies and publications that will make it easier and more economical for persons with mobility impairments to explore America by rail. In addition to its long-standing 15 percent rail discount for persons with disabilities, by June 1998 Amtrak will extend that discount to companions of persons with mobility impairments, lower the price of accessible bedrooms and, for the next three years, offer a 30 percent discount on accessible bedrooms to individuals with mobility impairments. (January 1998)
