Some airport workers were directed to resume parking at Terminal 2 but some workers expressed apprehension due to behavior and crime on the trains and at stations. In early 2023, Metro Transit and the Metropolitan Airport Commission came to an agreement for airport police and Metro Transit police officers to patrol the stations and trains between the airport terminals. The mutual aid agreement was extended until February 2024 when Metro Transit determined that the agreements were no longer needed. Private security guards hired by Metro Transit began patrolling the stations and trains between stations for 21 hours out of the day.
