$82 Million to Address Safety and Plan Union Station’s $9 Billion Overhaul

U.S. Department of Transportation and the Office of Mayor has announced $82 million funding to improve Union Station in Washington, D.C. This money will be used for immediate repairs and long-term planning.  

According to the sources, nearly $59 million will go toward fixing safety and operational issues at the station. These short-term improvements are necessary as Union Station continues to serve as a busy transportation hub while larger plans are developed.  The remaining $24 million is for planning and design work for a future $9 billion redevelopment project. This funding will cover early steps like utility upgrades and geotechnical studies.  

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also highlighted the importance of this funding to recreate the city. According to the report of FOX News, a local resident Kai Banks said, “The building needs this facelift”.  

Officials say the new funding is an important first step in transforming Union Station into a modern, world-class facility.
