Metrorail

• Take the Metro Silver Line train to the McLean Station.
• After exiting the fare gates, stay to the right and follow signs for “South Entrance/Buses/Parking/Kiss and Ride.”
• Cross the pedestrian bridge over Dolley Madison Blvd. (Rt. 123) and then take the escalator/elevator down to street level before walking uphill on Colshire Drive toward the main MITRE campus.
• Walking from the fare gates to the MITRE 1 lobby takes about 7 to 11 minutes.

You may also ride the MITRE Metro/Interoffice Shuttle from the kiss-and-ride area of the station. Look for a white van with a red sign on the door that reads “MITRE Metro Shuttle.” Note that the MITRE Metro A shuttle travels to the MITRE 2 and MITRE 4 buildings and returns to the Metro while the MITRE Metro B shuttle travels between the Metro station and the Kiss-n-Ride parking area. You can take the shuttle to the MITRE 2 building and then walk to the MITRE 1 building where the conference will be held.

Please consult the shuttle schedule to help you board at the right time to minimize your trip. Be prepared to show your MITRE or government ID or related MITRE correspondence (event registration or invitation, etc.) to the shuttle driver.
