As with last year's convention, WashingCon 2017 will have a shuttle that will pick up individuals from the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station and take them to the convention. Here details for the service:
- The first shuttle will leave the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station at 9:15 am on Saturday and 9:15 am on Sunday
- The last shuttle will leave the Conference Center for the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station at approximately 10:45 pm on Saturday and at approximately 8:45 pm on Sunday
- The shuttles will have a sign for "WashingCon" that riders can see
- The shuttles will be on a continuous loop between the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station and the Conference Center on both days
- There will be a WashingCon volunteer on hand to assist people at the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station and at the Conference Center in the mornings
- You do not need a pre-purchased ticket to WashingCon to ride the shuttle
After receiving feedback from last year’s attendees, we have made the following changes:
- We will have three shuttles going during peak periods instead of two
- Shuttles will drop people off and pick people up immediately in front of the entrance to the convention center, so that nobody has to walk across the parking lot like last year
- Shuttles will run continuously from 9:15 am to 10:45 pm on both Saturday and Sunday
- The shuttles will be 15-person passenger vans, not 55-person coach buses
- The shuttle pickup location will be the same as last year, but our volunteer there will have signs
You can see the pickup location at the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station and the drop-off location at the Conference Center in the images below. If you have any questions about our shuttle service, please email contact@washingcon.com.
