Washington DC logistics for paying respects to RBG Thursday 9/24

Post date: 2020-09-24 13:56:40

A friend and I will be driving from NYC to DC tomorrow (Thursday, September 24) to pay our respects to RBG at the Supreme Court building. I'm looking for suggestions specific to DC driving/parking/public transportation for how best to navigate once we arrive.

According to this Supreme Court notice, the public is welcome tomorrow from 9 am to 10 pm.

We know to expect vehicle and foot traffic, standing in long lines, street closures, etc. We know about sunscreen, water, snacks, etc. We're comfortable driving in cities and using public transportation. Driving from NYC is non-negotiable (we're driving back the same day) so please don't suggest we take the train or bus. Ability to walk long distances is temporarily compromised (standing is ok) so that's a limitation once we arrive.

What we're looking for are hyper-local tips like "Don't bother trying to drive or park in DC tomorrow, better to park the car in AAA (suburb? outer borough equivalent?) and take BBB (commuter rail, metro, etc.) to CCC (station/stop close to the Supreme Court building)." Or "If you're going to drive into DC, better to arrive by this time and look for parking here and then take taxi/Lyft/something else to the Supreme Court building."

Thanks!
