Public transportation in the Washington DC metropolitan area is extensive and expeditious. As parking is extremely limited ---parking is not available on the campus of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC), and street parking is limited to two hours--- utilizing the Metro system, Metrobus and Metrorail, is the most convenient mode of transportation.
For additional public transportation information, please view the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Web site www.wmata.com/default.cfm or call (202) 637-7000.
