Since Union Station Redevelopment Corporation’s (USRC) creation in 1983, USRC has been charged with overseeing Washington DC’s historic landmark Union Station as it evolves into a world-class multimodal facility, meeting the needs of more than 100,000 visitors a day. 

First opened in 1907, Washington, DC’s Union Station was once heralded as the largest train station in the world. However, over the years, great demand on the station and poor maintenance brought about the deterioration of the historic structure. In 1981, Congress passed the Union Station Redevelopment Act with the intention to preserve the historic integrity of the station while advancing its useful purpose to the region. Once passed, the act resulted in the founding of Union Station Redevelopment Corporation to represent the best interests of the station.  

USRC’s Mission is to Preserve and restore Union Station’s historic and architectural significance, Maintain the station’s long-term function as a multimodal transportation center, Enhance the retail and amenities within the station , and Advance the Station Expansion Project and participate in private development coordination .
