Shuttle Personnel Between the Pentagon, Capitol Hill, and Federal Agency Campuses
Get a quote in under 30 seconds for the shuttle routes that define daily government operations in the National Capital Region. Moving interagency staff between the Department of State (2201 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20520) and Capitol Hill? Coordinating contractor employee shuttles along the Pentagon City–Crystal City corridor?
Running an all-hands group from a downtown agency to an off-site at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center (201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745)? According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, Washington, DC drivers lose approximately 77 hours a year to congestion — one dedicated charter bus keeps your entire group on the same itinerary, on the same schedule, without splitting across rideshares on I-395 or I-295.

Transportation to Military Installations Across the National Capital Region
Washingtoncoachbuscompany.com can help you find buses for every installation in the region — from Joint Base Andrews (1535 Command Drive, Andrews AFB, MD 20762) and Fort Meade (4409 Llewellyn Avenue, Fort Meade, MD 20755), home of NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, to Marine Corps Base Quantico (3250 Catlin Avenue, Quantico, VA 22134) and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (8901 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20889). Every installation has its own gate procedures and vehicle-access requirements, so the earlier you lock in transportation, the more time your coordinator has to handle base access passes and visitor control paperwork. Compare available bus types and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving these routes — and call 202-773-1795 any time for a custom package built around your itinerary!
Change-of-Command Ceremonies, Memorial Services, and Official Events
It's never been easier to arrange group transportation for Washington's most important military occasions. Change-of-command ceremonies at Marine Barracks Washington (8th & I Streets SE, Washington, DC 20390) and Fort Myer draw hundreds of family members, dignitaries, and official guests who all need coordinated arrivals and departures. Memorial services and funeral honors at Arlington National Cemetery (Selfridge Road, Fort Myer, VA 22211) require buses to stage at the Welcome Center motorcoach lot on Memorial Drive, with no large commercial vehicles permitted on cemetery roads themselves — so precise timing and a pre-arranged pickup window matter enormously.
From April through October, your bus can drop off and pick up on the top deck of the Arlington National Cemetery parking garage with free entry and exit for 20 minutes before the regular timed parking rate applies. Through Washingtoncoachbuscompany.com, you can compare minibuses and full-size motorcoaches from a network of transportation companies familiar with these routes, and get your group where it needs to be on time, each time!
Conference and Training Shuttle Services for Government Groups in DC
Look no further when your agency or command needs recurring shuttle service for a multi-day conference or training event. The AUSA Annual Meeting at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center draws huge numbers of defense professionals every October and is one of the highest-demand weeks in the DC charter bus market — book well in advance. National Defense University programs at Fort McNair, interagency training events, and DoD off-site conferences at venues like the Marriott Marquis Washington, DC (901 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20001) all benefit from a dedicated shuttle that runs on your schedule, not a fixed transit timetable.
Compare available vehicles and packages in seconds through the online quote tool or by calling 202-773-1795!
Government Contractor Employee Shuttles Across Northern Virginia and Maryland
Through a network of independently owned transportation companies, Washingtoncoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to find recurring employee shuttle service for the dense corridor of defense contractors headquartered in Arlington, McLean, and Bethesda. Moving a team between the Pentagon City Metro station and a Crystal City office tower? Shuttling analysts between a Bethesda campus and Defense Intelligence Agency facilities at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling?
Running a daily route along the I-270 technology corridor toward Fort Meade? Instead of reimbursing parking across dozens of individual cars — or losing productivity to I-395 gridlock — one dedicated employee shuttle bus keeps your team together and on schedule. Compare minibuses, charter buses, and sprinter vans from a network of transportation companies serving Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Washington Government & Military Transportation Services
Washingtoncoachbuscompany.com helps you compare buses rental options; it is not a transportation company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles.

Those details go to a national booking platform that returns pricing and vehicle options from a network of independent transportation companies serving your route. You review the results, compare vehicles and packages side by side, and book the bus that fits your group — all online, all in minutes, with no account needed.
For most government conferences and training events, three to six months out is the right window. The AUSA Annual Meeting in October, Armed Forces Day ceremonies in May, Veterans Day events in November, and any week surrounding a Presidential Inauguration are the tightest periods in the DC market — book six months or more for those dates. Congressional recess periods offer better availability and more flexible scheduling.
The earlier you lock in transportation, the more time your team has to handle installation access passes and visitor control requirements on the installation side.
Yes, with advance coordination. Every installation in the National Capital Region has its own gate procedures and vehicle-access requirements. Fort Belvoir's Visitor Control Center can be reached at (703) 806-4509 to register commercial vehicles in advance.
Joint Base Andrews access for commercial vehicles is coordinated through the 316th Security Forces Squadron. The Pentagon requires advance coordination with the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) at pfpa.mil for any non-DoD vehicle on inner access roads. Plan to handle base access paperwork on your end well before your travel date — the bus reservation and the base access pass are two separate processes.
Bus drop-off for the Capitol Visitor Center is coordinated on the West Front of the Capitol, with oversized vehicles using Garfield Circle SW. Commercial vehicles are not permitted to stage or wait on Capitol grounds — the bus drops your group and departs immediately. Your bus enters the Capitol Grounds at 3rd and Maryland Ave. SW or 3rd and Pennsylvania Ave. NW and exits at those points or 1st and Louisiana Ave. NW, following the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center tour-bus route.
For groups of 25 or more, Capitol Police recommend advance notification through the Capitol Visitor Center at visitthecapitol.gov. Senate and House office buildings each have separate security checkpoints; group coordinators should confirm screening procedures with their congressional contact before arrival.
Charter buses for Arlington National Cemetery funeral and memorial groups stage at the Welcome Center motorcoach lot on Memorial Drive, accessed from the Welcome Center entrance off Memorial Drive in Fort Myer, VA 22211. Large commercial buses are not permitted to drive on cemetery roads — Arlington National Cemetery operates its own internal transportation for movement within the grounds. Groups coordinating funeral support transportation should contact ANC's Office of the Executive Director in advance through arlingtoncemetery.mil.
Build extra time into your arrival window; security and credentialing at the gate take longer for larger groups.
Yes, and they happen frequently. Pennsylvania Avenue NW between 15th and 17th Streets NW closes regularly for White House security events, with Constitution Avenue NW serving as the standard alternative for government groups moving between the Federal Triangle and Capitol Hill. During the State of the Union address and major state events, the National Mall perimeter can be closed to commercial vehicles entirely, coordinated by the U.S. Secret Service.
For any high-profile event date, confirm active closures through the DC government transportation and road closures page before your travel day, and build a 30-minute buffer into your schedule for any route that crosses the Pennsylvania Avenue NW corridor.
