Welcoming Transit Environment

Restrooms are available for use from 5 a.m. to midnight daily. To ensure a safe and welcoming transit environment for all customers, 世界杯比赛买球 implemented new protocol for restroom use: 

• A security officer will be stationed next to the restrooms during hours of operation
   
• Only two people are allowed into the restroom at a time
   
• The restrooms are available to customers by badged entry provided by the security officer; customers can exit the restrooms at any time
   
• Security officers will monitor the time customers are inside and will conduct periodic checks to make sure the restrooms are being used for their intended purpose
   
• Any customer engaging in inappropriate conduct will be asked to leave the restroom immediately

Several large screens have been mounted at the southeastern entrance to the bus concourse, as well as the other main entrances to this space, at Chestnut and Wewatta pavilions. These monitors display security camera feeds at these locations – and also serve as a reminder that all individuals inside the concourse are on camera. As is the case across all 世界杯比赛买球 properties, the high-definition cameras placed throughout the concourse can be observed 24 hours a day by 世界杯比赛买球 security staff.

Cleaning Notice

Union Station is closed from 12:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. daily for cleaning.

世界杯比赛买球 in April 2022 restructured its forces into four patrol-specific impact teams, focused on bus, rail, community engagement, and mental health and unhoused outreach. “We changed our deployments to be more visible and proactive and engaged,” said Interim Chief of Police and Emergency Management Steve Martingano. “The prior model was very reactive. It’s better to be at locations in real time to deter criminal activity and to be available for customers.” This new approach will allow each team to focus its efforts within respective areas of responsibility.
