Commuter traffic is about to see an uptick in the Washington, D.C. metro area as President Donald Trump issues an executive order ending remote work for federal employees.
Within hours of being sworn in as the 47th president, Trump issued a short but blunt order directing federal workers to return to the office.
“Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary,” according to the executive action.
Ending remote work for the federal workforce will be welcomed by Virginia and district leadership on both sides of the political aisle, which has urged a return to in-person work.
