Sec. 37.49  Designation of responsible person(s) for intercity and commuter rail stations.

    (a) The responsible person(s) designated in accordance with this 
section shall bear the legal and financial responsibility for making a 
key station accessible in the same proportion as determined under this 
section.
    (b) In the case of a station more than fifty percent of which is 
owned by a public entity, the public entity is the responsible party.
    (c) In the case of a station more than fifty percent of which is 
owned by a private entity the persons providing commuter or intercity 
rail service to the station are the responsible parties, in a proportion 
equal to the percentage of all passenger boardings at the station 
attributable to the service of each, over the entire period during which 
the station is made accessible.
    (d) In the case of a station of which no entity owns more than fifty 
percent, the owners of the station (other than private entity owners) 
and persons providing intercity or commuter rail service to the station 
are the responsible persons.
    (1) Half the responsibility for the station shall be assumed by the 
owner(s) of the station. The owners shall share this responsibility in 
proportion to their ownership interest in the station, over the period 
during which the station is made accessible.
    (2) The person(s) providing commuter or intercity rail service to 
the station shall assume the other half of the responsibility. These 
persons shall share this responsibility. These persons shall share this 
responsibility for the station in a proportion equal to the percentage 
of all passenger boardings at the station attributable to the service of 
each, over the period during which the station is made accessible.
    (e) Persons who must share responsibility for station accessibility 
under paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section may, by agreement, allocate 
their responsibility in a manner different from that provided in this 
section.
