Other options that would work to transport several people in wheelchairs at once, now that Amtrak knows it should consider the necessity of doing so:
-creating “convertible” Superliner coach-baggage cars, which can either have windows shuttered closed and a flat floor, or windows clear and quick-install seats
-agreements with PV owners who have dining cars with loose seats
-removing a row of seating from some remaining 2+1 cafe/business cars
Any of these options do require crash-tested wheelchair restraints of course.
