Nearly 17,000 federal workers are expected to return to the office at Washington Navy Yard on Monday, according to base officials.
The return comes after President Donald Trump's executive order to end remote work went into effect Monday.
While there will be an influx of workers expected to work in person, there are only about 4,400 parking spaces available on base.
Base officials said they are working with local government to handle the increase in traffic. The base is also increasing the number of workers at their entrances but says employees should expect delays.
Attendance monitoring in the parking lots will be in place too, but those who can't find a parking space will have to find parking off base.
A long line of cars formed outside the Washington Navy Yard's entrance on Monday morning. A federal worker who had been going into the office before the executive order was issued said traffic was backed up considerably.
“This is amazing because I haven’t seen this much of a backup in about three years,” the worker said. “I hope people are ready for it. I hope they bring their patience with them.”
Officials at Washington Navy Yard are encouraging people to take alternative transportation to work, like the Metro.
Last week, Metro reported its highest Monday rush hour ridership since 2020. The number could increase as workers figure out a way to get to work while dealing with increased traffic.

Where did they park before Covid?
What did they do before Covid?
It worked just fine back in 2019, it will work out now. Not like this is something new.
Can't park on some grass?
Metro, Carpool, Buses, this is not new, just a lame excuse to whine.
Do we really need all 17,000 of them?
COVID-BLOAT
As I recollect there is a Metro subway station nearby.
In all fairness, I doubt carpools have been worked out yet.
Probably hired since the scamdemic.
Fire the excess.
That must really suck, after screwing off at home for a couple years. If it were me, I’d quit! Hey Hegseth! Take this job and shove it! Ain’t workin’ here no more!

Metro train and busses serve the base
Well, here’s one idea: carpooling.
So, I supposed to believe because of CIVID and people working at home, that bout 12,000 of 17,000 parking spaces were destroyed by the feds since these people started working at home.
In all fairness they have been given weeks to work it out. Time for tolerance is over, people need to get over it and get back to work or leave.
They can take the metro. Green line.
Sick days.
Every cop needs to be there with their ticket books. Right ‘em up Dano.
