The Law Center supports alternative means of transportation and knows that parking will always be a challenge on Capitol Hill.

METRO

The metro is the primary option for our community and we encourage its use. The Law Center is located near two stations: Judiciary Square and Union Station. We participate in both the metrochek and smartrip programs. The smartrip card also covers your parking fees at Metro lots. For employees, we have pretax incentives that will reduce your overall transportation costs. Metro use is encouraged with the Union Station Shuttle service providing free rides from the Law Center to Union Station from 5:00 PM until 12:00AM every night. Additional information including maps, bus routes, and other information is available through their web site at www.wmata.com .

BIKING   

Bike transportation is another good alternative given our climate and location. Bikes may be registered with DPS who can provide access to bike storage areas in the garage. There is no charge for the use of these areas. The District of Columbia has an active bike commuter community. For additional information, see the website at www.waba.org .
