Shuttle Service

On Thursday and Friday, shuttle buses will also run between the UMUC surface lot, Mowatt Parking Garage, and the National Archives on the schedule appearing below. On Saturday, shuttle buses will not stop at the UMUC surface lot because anyone with a car can, and should, park at the Archives lot on Saturday. (Parking there is not allowed on Thursday and Friday).

NOTE: The stop near the Mowatt Parking Garage is to accommodate those people lodging in the UMD residence hall, which is located nearby. Conference parking is located at the UMUC surface lots NOT the Mowatt Parking Garage.
