Bus drop off will be on 23rd St. north of Constitution Ave. This is right across the street from the gathering site at 23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW. (Buses should not stop or drop off on Constitution Ave.)

The image to the left shows the bus drop off location, which is on 23rd St. right across the street from the opening rally site. Click here for a printable version of this map (8.5x11 inch PDF).

We strongly recommend that all buses utilize this drop off point. This will ensure that everyone arrives on time and does not miss the rally and the start of the march. Buses have dropped off in downtown DC for all of the massive anti-war rallies involving hundreds of thousands of people. Because buses arrive over a period of several hours, there will not be a heavy back-up of buses.

Buses should not drop off and/or park at outlying metro stations. (Those who do this may not arrive on time for the rally and the march step off. It will take a minimum of 45 minutes to ride the metro to the assembly area, you may have to transfer metro lines, it will cost over $2 per person and then you will have to walk to the rally area from the metro exit. After the rally, you will again have to walk back to, pay for and ride the metro, which will delay your departure or require you to leave the demonstration early.) It is only a few minutes walk from the bus drop off point to the rally site.

Please note: The "National Marathon" will be taking place on the morning of the 21st. The roads around the opening rally site will be reopened between 8:00 am and 8:30 am, though there will be other streets that remain closed until later in the morning/afternoon. Please review the marathon street closure map when making plans for your bus's entry into DC to avoid roads that will be closed. The bridge used to get to the bus parking in Virginia will not be closed.
