Amtrak has completed improvement projects at three of its stations across Colorado and Pennsylvania, targeting safety and the passenger experience.

Amtrak upgrades two Colorado stations

Amtrak passengers can expect to see new upgrades at two Colorado stations in Fort Morgan and Granby after $15 million in improvement projects were completed.

“Making stations accessible to all customers is a priority we’re actively pursuing with construction, renovation, repair and upgrade projects at stations across our national network,” said Amtrak Vice President of Accessibility Dr. David Handera. “We want all of our stations to provide a welcoming environment for every passenger.”

Amtrak made improvements to the passenger experience by providing a level surface for wheeled mobility devices, strollers and rolling luggage users.

Amtrak reports that 17 stations have been brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act since Sept. 30, 2025, and another 50 stations are targeted for completion in the next year at a forecasted investment of $310 million. A total of 132 of these upgrade projects are expected to be completed by 2030. The agency says these improvements focus on supporting Amtrak’s goals to enhance the customer experience and bring greater integrated and comprehensive accessibility to stations across the country.

Improvements at Ft. Morgan, that Amtrak notes cost approximately $7 million, include:

• The station now features 480- and 600-foot-long concrete platforms.
• Accessible paths of travel to and from the station building.
• Complete are sloped accessible walkways and safety barriers.
• LED light fixtures that provide full coverage lighting at the platform.
• Detectable warning systems.
• New signage.

The designer of record for the project was Linn Architects. Krische Construction (KCI) provided general contractor services for the project.

Improvements at Granby, that Amtrak notes cost approximately $8 million, include:

• The station now features an 827 foot-long concrete boarding platform with 508 feet of snow melt areas.
• Accessible paths of travel to and from the station building.
• Sloped accessible walkways and safety barriers.
• LED light fixtures that provide full coverage lighting at the platform.
• Detectable warning systems.
• New signage.

The designer of record for the project is Michael Baker International. KCI also provided general contractor services for this project as well.

“I am glad to see this $15 million federal investment go towards enhancing accessibility at the Ft. Morgan and Granby Amtrak stations. Investing in passenger rail strengthens the connections that Colorado communities rely on. These upgrades will make travel safer, more accessible, and more convenient for everyone who uses these stations,” said Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).

Amtrak makes $3.5 million in upgrades to Huntingdon Station

Amtrak has completed accessibility and rider experience improvements at Huntingdon Station (HGD), marking what the agency says is another milestone in its commitment to providing a safer, more accessible and welcoming travel experience for all passengers.

“Every customer deserves a station experience that is safe, accessible and comfortable,” Dr. Handera said. “The improvements at Huntingdon Station make it easier for passengers of all abilities to access our service, whether they are using mobility devices, traveling with strollers or navigating the station with luggage.”

Amtrak designed improvements with the intent to benefit riders with enhanced accessibility, safety and amenities at Huntingdon Station through the following improvements:

• New ADA-compliant boarding platform.
• New passenger shelter.
• Upgraded lighting and electrical systems.
• Enhanced drainage and stormwater management features.
• Improved pedestrian crossing.
• New ADA-compliant signage.
• Additional site, utility and customer amenity enhancements.

Amtrak says it has invested more than $1 billion since 2011 in accessibility upgrades and improvement projects at 159 stations across the national network to ensure a safe, efficient and comfortable travel experience for customers. The ADA Stations Program is advancing 122 station designs and 85 station construction projects as part of Amtrak’s ongoing commitment to providing accessibility by working toward 100% completion by 2029.

These Amtrak projects receive specific congressional funding directed by the Federal Railroad Administration.
