PROPERTIES IN THE D.C. AREA WILL

REMAIN OPEN AND THE HEALTH AND

SAFETY OF THEIR GUESTS IS

PARAMOUNT.

>>> METRO IS PLANNING A MASSIVE

STATION SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF THE

INAUGURATION.

BEGINNING TOMORROW, MORE THAN A

DOZEN STATIONS WILL START TO

CLOSE DOWNTOWN.

ADAM TUSS HAS A MESSAGE FROM

METRO'S LEADER ABOUT WHAT YOU

SHOULD NOT BE DOING OVER THE

NEXT WEEK.

>> Reporter: AS D.C. LOCKS DOWN

FOR THE UPCOMING INAUGURATION,

MAJOR METRO CLOSURES ARE GOING

INTO PLACE TOMORROW.

13 DOWNTOWN STTIONS WILL BE

CLOSED.

ALL THE STATIONS WITH RED C

CIRCLES CLOSE TOMORROW.

THE YELLOW C CIRCLES CLOSE ON

SATURDAY.

ALL OF THESE STATIONS WILL

REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY.

TRAINS WILL JUST PASS THROUGH.

>> GIVEN ALL THE UNCERTAINTIES

AROUND THESE ISSUES, PLEASE STAY

AWAY FROM DOWNTOWN.

>> Reporter: PRETTY AMAZING.

CONSIDER THE FACT THAT OVER 1

MILLION PEOPLE ROAD METRO DURING

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FIRST

INAUGURATION IN 2009.

THAT REMAINS THE BUSIEST DAY

METRO HAS EVER HAD.

NOW, METRO'S UNION IS WORRIED

SOME RIDERS MAY BE UP TO NO GOOD

DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AS WELL.

AMALGAMATED TRANSIT UNION IS

PLEADING WITH TRANSIT AGENCIES

ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BE

PREPARED TO PROTECT TRAIN AND

BUS OPERATORS.

>> I HAVE A GROUP OF UNION

LEADERS MEETING WITH THE

AUTHORITY TO GO OVER THE SAFETY

PLANS FOR INAUGURATION DAY.

THE UNION WILL NOT ACCEPT

ANYTHING LESS THAN 100%

COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY FOR ITS

MEMBERS AND THE RIDING PUBLIC.

>> Reporter: NOW, THE UNION IS

GOING AS FAR AS TELLING

EMPLOYEES IF THEY DON'T FEEL

SAFE WORKING THAT DAY, THEY

SHOULD BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> ADAM TUSS.

SECURITY IS ONLY GOING TO GET

TIGHTER AS INAUGURATION DAY
