Trump Proposes World-Record Parking Garage at Dulles, Drawing Skepticism

President Trump unveiled plans for a 32,000-car parking garage at Dulles International Airport as part of a $22.5 billion renovation, claiming it would be the largest in the world. The airport’s master plan envisions a much smaller 6,400-car deck by 2031–2034, and critics warn the proposed structure could raise throughput, safety, and sightline issues while costing well over $900 million if all spots are built. The plan’s details aren’t reflected in official renderings, and advocates point to the existing Metro Silver Line as a cheaper access alternative.
