All Aboard Act This bill requires Amtrak to issue refunds to rail passengers for the purchase price of rail passenger transportation that is cancelled or delayed due to a failure of Amtrak. Specifically, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must issue regulations requiring Amtrak to issue full refunds to passengers for the purchase price of the covered rail passenger transportation if there is a cancellation or a delay of more than three hours in the journey completion time that is due to a failure of Amtrak. Under the bill, covered rail passenger transportation means (1) rail passenger transportation provided by, or on behalf of, Amtrak; or (2) commuter rail passenger transportation that travels over Amtrak-owned rails, regardless of whether it is provided by Amtrak or other rail carriers. The regulations must include procedures for (1) determining if a cancellation or delay is due to a failure of Amtrak, and (2) Amtrak to dispute that a cancellation or delay is subject to the refund requirements. The bill prohibits Amtrak from receiving federal funds for any period during which DOT determines that Amtrak is noncompliant with these requirements. Amtrak must submit a report to Congress on alternative asset maintenance strategies to replace the run-to-fail maintenance model (i.e., using passenger rail equipment and infrastructure until it no longer works or exceeds its estimated lifespan), including the cost of the strategies. Within two years of this bill's enactment, Amtrak must (1) stop using a run-to-fail maintenance model, and (2) implement a new asset maintenance strategy.

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
