TRANSPORTATION

Bus Trip to USCG HQ:

• Using a US Government (USG) bus from the L'Enfant plaza METRO rail station is popular. For more information on METRO-rail visit: http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/systemmap.cfm. L'Enfant plaza is a METRO-rail stop near the center of the map, where the Yellow line enters Washington DC, meeting Green, Orange & Blue rail lines.
• The USG shuttle bus requires DHS, USCG or NDU ID/badge, although Military ID with orders is also generally accepted, particularly when in uniform. NSOOC will provide a suitable badge. Web info is at: http://www.cgaux.info/g_ocx/administration/directions.html#d

    in the picture. This location allows riders to wait in an area sheltered from the
    weather. Please keepclear of the gated parking lot while waiting. The USCG Shuttle
    Bus will pull into the area in front of the L'Enfant Plaza Promenade steps.

     Lot. At the far side of this parking lot is the pedestrian gate to the National
     Defense University. You MUST show identification at this gate.
