Directions to Bus Parking at RFK Stadium

(Download Print Version)
For Sunday, April 25, bus parking for the March for Women’s Lives will be available at the RFK Stadium lot. Buses parking overnight may be sent to different lots depending on date and time of arrival. Please note that there will be no car parking available at RFK Stadium. Car parking is available at Metro subway parking lots in the Virginia and Maryland suburbs: see http://www.marchforwomen.org/travel for details. Please do not attempt to drive your busses to the National Mall: a number of major streets will be closed for the March, and you could be stuck in traffic for hours.

One-day bus parking at RFK will cost $30 cash. Please factor this into the cost of your bus tickets. RFK Stadium is a short Metro ride away from the National Mall, where the March will begin. We strongly recommend that you buy your farecards (Metro passes) in advance: if one person has to buy their farecard at the station, it will hold up the entire group. Delegations coming into RFK Stadium on Sunday morning and leaving that same evening should purchase farecards. See http://www.marchforwomen.org/travel to purchase your fare cards.

Busses arriving from I-95 from the south should follow I-395 towards Washington. Crossing the 14th Street Bridge, stay to the right, and do not exit at 14th Street/Route 1. After passing the exit for “L’Enfant Plaza,” get over to the left and merge onto the Southeast-Southwest Freeway (follow signs towards Pennsylvania Avenue). Stay left and follow signs for RFK Stadium Parking: a ramp leads directly from the freeway into Lot 8. After you park, March volunteers in Lot 8 will direct you to the Metro station.

From the southwest (Tennessee, Alabama):

Busses arriving from I-66 should take the Capitol Beltway (I-495) south at Exit 64. At Exit 4, take I-395 North, and follow directions listed above under “From the south.” Do not take I-66 all the way into Washington: Constitution Avenue will be closed for the March.
