To/From Airport

The Washington Metro has subway service to Gaithersburg. Metro can be boarded at National Airport. Take a Yellow Line train marked "Mount Vernon Square" to the Gallery Place stop and transfer to a Red Line train marked "Shady Grove" to the Shady Grove station. Service is every 6 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day. The travel time from National Airport to Shady Grove is about 50 minutes. Taxis are available from the Shady Grove Metro station to area hotels.

Super-Shuttle, 1-800-258-3826, and Federal Airport Shuttle, 1-866-721-2929, offer commercial van service from Dulles International, Ronald Reagan National, and Baltimore-Washington International Airports to Gaithersburg. Call for reservations.

Due to increased security, NIST no longer allows airport shuttles or taxis on campus unless you make arrangements in advance at the conference registration desk. If you make arrangements directly with an airport shuttle/taxi to pick you up at NIST, you must meet the vehicle at the Visitor Center (Gate A -- Main Gate), which is a 10-minute walk from Building 101.

To/From NIST Campus

Round-trip shuttle service will be provided between the workshop hotel and NIST each day in the morning and evening. Attendees are encouraged to use this service, as parking at NIST may be limited.

If you are planning to drive onto the NIST campus, you must present your photo identification and vehicle registration (or car rental agreement) at the main gate to be admitted to the workshop.
