I wonder: If changes will be made in the parking garage, would the rental car section be moved closer to the entrance? It's a long way north to walk currently, especially if you have a bit of luggage.

Greyhound is moving its hub to Washington Union Station.  Currently in an blighted area impractically far away for pedestrians walking from the train station, Greyhound is moving to WAS soon.

In other news, the Amtrak-undercutting, tourist-killer jitneys also gain access to WAS and, hopefully, no longer illegal board and alight passengers are random points in the city:
