Portable boarding ramps
​
Train operators are allowed to provide portable boarding ramps which are slow, unreliable to those forced to used them, can be unsafe to both users and staff to deploy. The ramps are often used at stations where the ramp is too steep to meet unassisted disability grades of incline. The ramps can't be easily made longer due to their weight
Lack of solutions for existing trains and stations
​​
Several prototypes have been developed but almost all of them are limited in some way or another. Many fall short of broad deployment and it's often not until cities and states are adopting brand new stations and trains where independent accessibility is truly solved.
