CAR
Getting to Capitol Hill by Car
Traveling to Capitol Hill by car is discouraged as parking in the area is
extremely limited.
Most street parking is time restricted at 2
hours, so it is only practical for one brief meeting. Some
street parking is
metered, so you will need to bring quarters. Look for parking
beyond the two block range from the US Capitol building as public
parking is not permitted in the two block area surrounding the
Capitol. Do not look for parking due west of the Capitol
building because that area includes the Capitol Reflecting Pool
and permit-only parking. See Parking on Capitol Hill below based on your specific Capitol Hill destination.
Alternatives include parking at Union Station (Metro:
Union Station) and walking or parking at the Washington Design Center (Metro:
Federal Center SW) and taking the Metro to the Capitol South Metro
stop, walking or taking a cab.
