Brattleboro Amtrak station and ADA access

The station was built with $10 million in federal investment administered by the Federal Railroad Administration⁠. It is part of Amtrak’s ADA Stations Program, which is intended to make all stations in the national network ADA compliant before 2030. Amtrak officials said 19 stations were brought into ADA compliance in fiscal year 2025, while another 50 are due for completion in FY 2026.

In Brattleboro, the new facility includes Vermont’s first full-length level boarding train platform⁠, designed to provide full accessibility for passengers. The site also has ramps from the parking area and a new ADA-accessible single-occupant restroom.

Safety features at the new station

Additional safety features include an electric snow-melt system, lighting, signage, railings and a detectable warning edge.

What will change for passengers?

For passengers, the official details add a practical layer: the Brattleboro stop is now listed at 21 Depot Street, with the new location effective June 24, 2026. Amtrak also says the level boarding platform is 345 feet long and 48 inches above the top of the rail, with two ramps and two stairways from the parking level. The stop remains on the Vermonter, Amtrak’s daily service between St. Albans and Washington, D.C.
