The Department of Transportation is taking back control of Washington D.C.'s Union Station to improve safety and aesthetics. This follows a Trump administration anti-crime initiative with a significant federal presence, including National Guard deployment at the station, which sees 70,000 daily visitors. The DOT aims to reinvest station income into improvements like security and accessibility, renegotiating agreements with current managers to regain full control by September.
