***WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE TRAVELING TO DC***
FOR BUSES TO Washington DC & San Francisco go to:

DRIVING DIRECTIONS
For detailed driving directions to DC, go to
http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp and enter
"Constitution Ave. and 21st St. NW" as your
destination.
BUS/VAN/CAR DROP OFF
IMPORTANT NOTE: Bus drop off is on Constitution Ave.
NW, curbside, between 18th and 21st Sts., on both the
north and south side. Space to drop off is most
readily available on the north side, so please attempt
to pull up to the rally site heading west on
Constitution Ave. so you will be on the north side of
the street. Buses cannot park here, but they can pull
up and unload.
BUS PICKUP
After an opening rally at the Vietnam Veterans War
Memorial, we will march to the White House, and then
march back to our starting location. So bus pick up
will be the same location as bus drop off (please see
above).
BUS PARKING
Buses can park at RFK stadium. The cost of parking for
the day will be $30 and buses must pay when they enter
the parking lot. The bus drivers should indicate that
they are with the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition event. The
buses can remain there for the day.
A map of RFK stadium showing the parking areas can be
found at
http://www.dcsportscommission.com/directions/dcsec_parking.pdf
. RFK Stadium is located in southeast DC and can be
reached by driving East on Independence Ave. towards
the Anacostia River (the stadium is located just past
19th St. SE).
Please note: Buses should not travel to RFK Stadium
before dropping off passengers. Large groups taking
the metro from RFK to the rally site will be very time
consuming and result in passengers being late for the
march. Please drop all passengers off at the rally
site and return to the rally site for pick up.
VAN/CAR PARKING INFORMATION
It may be possible to find street parking for cars and
vans. The earlier you arrive, the more likely it is
that you will find a parking space, as they fill up
fast (this is a busy area for tourists). Most meter
spaces in this area do not have to be paid on
Saturdays.
If you are unable to find street parking, there are
several parking lots within 3/4 of a mile of the rally
site. Those lots only take cars. To park vans, you
will have to drive to a parking lot slightly farther
away.
A list of area parking lots for cars and vans can be
found by going to
http://www.internationalanswer.org/campaigns/o26/logistics.html#dc1
and scrolling down to "van/car parking information."
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN DC
The closest metro station to 21st St. and Constitution
Ave. NW (Constitution Gardens adjacent to the Vietnam
Veterans War Memorial) is the Foggy Bottom-GWU stop on
the blue/orange line. From there, it is a 3/4 mile
walk to the site (walk south on 23rd St., then turn
left on Constitution Ave. and walk two blocks to 21st
St.). Volunteers will be stationed at the Foggy Bottom
metro station to help direct people to the site.
