Like the big ballpark a couple of blocks away, things are quiet in the Transportation Department building in Southeast D.C. There, and throughout the country, DOT has more than 55,000 people furloughed. Of the 36,000 still on the job, most work for the FAA in air traffic control. Janet Benini is one of 55,000 Transportation Department employees furloughed because of the shutdown. As associate director for international preparedness, she organizes high-level international emergency-planning conferences and events. But not this week.
