Earlier this week, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the Department of Transportation would reclaim management of Union Station in Washington, DC. Normally, this news would likely fade from the headlines without much ado outside of Washington. However, the Trump administration’s decision to invoke the Home Rule Act in order to federalize local law enforcement and essentially take jurisdiction over the nation’s capital has left many on heightened alert. As such, the decision regarding Union Station is seen through a much different lens than it would have been a few months ago. That said, there is also reason for hope in the DOT’s stated goals for taking back control of Union Station.
