By Metro:
From Capitol South Station:
Take the Blue or Orange line to Capitol South Metro station. After ascending the escalators from the Metro station, turn left on First Street. Take a left at the corner onto C Street. The Rayburn Building is the third office building on your right. Visit Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's website (www.wmata.com) for rail maps, fares, how to ride and more.
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.
