The Baby Changing on Board Act would require Amtrak to install baby changing tables in at least one bathroom of every new train car it orders after the law takes effect, including ADA-compliant bathrooms. Tables must support up to 30 pounds, can be pull-out or drop-down style, and must have clear signage on the bathroom door and near the table. It does not apply to trains Amtrak already owns or to trains it operates but doesn't own.
Parents and caregivers traveling with young children on Amtrak, and Amtrak itself, which must build these features into future train car designs.
Because the requirement only applies to newly ordered train cars, the practical effect would grow gradually as Amtrak's fleet is replaced or expanded, rather than changing trains currently in service.
