Transportation

One of Georgetown's greatest strengths is its location in the nation's capital. The university provides free shuttles from Main Campus to nearby Metro stations and to the Law Center campus on Capitol Hill. Washington's Metro subway and bus system provides convenient and inexpensive transportation within the Washington metropolitan area, including service to the nearby suburbs of Maryland and Virginia.

Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle (GUTS)

Georgetown University offers shuttle services for students, faculty, staff and visitors traveling to and from the university campus and nearby Metrorail stations. The Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle (GUTS) operates five weekday shuttle routes from 5 a.m. – 12 a.m. daily, connecting the Main and Medical Center Campuses to the following locations:

• Rosslyn Metro (Virginia)
• Dupont Circle Metro (Washington, D.C.)
• Georgetown University Law Center (Washington, D.C.)
• University offices on Wisconsin Avenue (Washington, D.C.)
• Multiple stops in North Arlington (Virginia)

Students, faculty and staff may ride on any GUTS route at no charge with a valid Georgetown University ID card. Georgetown University Hospital physicians, staff and patients may ride the Rosslyn and Dupont shuttles for free with a valid ID. Visitors to the campus may also ride free of charge by showing a picture ID at the time of boarding. Buses with wheelchair lifts are available on all GUTS routes. 

The university uses a biodiesel blend for it's fleet of GUTS buses as part of its goal to reduce Georgetown's carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2020.
