NEARLY 90% of EPA workers will be furloughed as a result of the shutdown.

Major transportation hubs, schools, and financial and medical services were not initially affected. Employees such as air traffic controllers and airport security officials stayed on the job. And many iconic parks continue to welcome visitors.

But some federal employees who did report for duty will not be paid until lawmakers reach an agreement and the shutdown ends.

In a host of federal agencies, the majority of employees are on furlough, with the Agriculture, Commerce and Education departments hit especially hard. Roughly 750,000 federal employees could be furloughed each day at a compensation cost of $400 million, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Here is how your services could be affected:

Airports and transit

Major California airports are not expected to see immediate interruptions in service.

That's because air traffic controllers and the Transportation Security Administration will still be on the job.

But the FAA said 11,000 other employees will be furloughed, Reuters according to Industry experts warn a prolonged shutdown could result in longer TSA lines, flight delays and cancellations.

"When federal employees who manage air traffic, inspect aircraft and secure our nation's aviation system are furloughed or working without pay, the entire industry and millions of Americans feel the strain," the A4A said in a statement.

TSA officials said staff is prepared to continue screening 2.5 million passengers a day, but "an extended shutdown could mean longer wait times at airports." Amtrak has also said train service will continue.

Veterans services

According to the VA, medical facilities and clinics will remain open and operate normally. Burials will continue as well along with various benefits and educational programs.
