Rides within the campus boundaries (which includes the GWU Inn) are available by calling the Escort Service between dusk and dawn at 4-RIDE (from on-campus extentions) or 994-RIDE. Please show your meeting badge to the driver.
Those traveling to Tuesday’s dinner cruise via METRO should exercise caution in the short walk between the Waterfront Metro Station and the boarding dock.
