Important Information for Charter Buses and Motorcoach Operators

Motorcoach operators provide an important service for tourists and visitors that travel to Washington, DC. The following information provides important tips for motorcoach operators to ensure safety and create a memorable experience for tourists coming to the District to visit the nation’s historic capital.

Permits

All bus operators who do not have apportioned tags are required to register with the District Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain a trip permit. www.dmv.dc.gov. A bus not properly registered while operating in the District will be subject to a fine.

Parking and Protocol

It is important to know and follow the traffic and parking regulations when operating in the city. Be aware of pedestrians and bicyclists and read all signage carefully. District regulations are strictly enforced and violations will result in a ticket. Please refer to the attached map of Motorcoach Parking and Pick-Up/Drop-Off Locations for designated bus parking spaces in the city.

Please check posted signs before parking as some short and long-term parking is subject to change.

Don't embark or disembark passengers in "Loading Zones" or at Metrobus stops.

Don’t park in any area posted “No parking” or “No Standing”

Don’t double park.

Don’t park in a bus zone for longer than the posted time limit.

Don’t idle your engine for more than 3 minutes.

Don’t stop, load or park on streets with rush hour prohibitions.

Don't park in metered areas when the meters are in effect.

Don’t park adjacent to any residential property, school, playground, hospital, church or park. (A standing vehicle that is not loading or unloading passengers is considered to be “parked” regardless of whether the engine is on.) Fine for violation is $250.

More information about Motorcoach operations in the District can be found at www.goDCgo.com

For any questions or concerns, please call the District Information Line on 311.
