To restore greatness to our nation’s capital, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) sent letters to DC transportation leaders asking them to prioritize improvements to passenger security, crime reduction, and roadway safety throughout Washington, DC. “The President has called for people to return to office, and it is critical we ensure workers’ safety during their daily commute,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “That is why I am taking action to direct those responsible for ensuring safety for passengers and workers in D.C. to make necessary improvements and upgrades. Our nation’s capital should be a beacon of safety and cleanliness for all who work, live, and visit… Making D.C. safe again starts with restoring people’s faith in our transportation systems, and the Department of Transportation intends to use every resource at its disposal to restore public confidence and ensure a safe experience for the millions who visit and work in our capital.” Moving forward, USDOT will continue to work closely with its partners to implement necessary improvements, ensuring a safe and reliable transportation network for all.
