Parking on the main campus can be difficult. Recent construction on the P-2 ramp in the Bldg. 10 garage did impact parking availability as there was a temporary loss of approximately 75 parking spaces. The ramp is now open, but due to new infrastructure supports for the ramp, approximately 10 parking spaces were lost. While there has been no further loss of parking spaces, availability can be more difficult during the winter, as many NIH staff tend to commute by a single-occupied vehicle rather than by mass transit or bicycling. As the weather and Metro service improve, individuals typically switch back to mass transit or bicycling, thereby improving parking availability.

The Employee Transportation Services Office (ETSO) is here to help all NIH staff with their commuting options. We encourage you to use alternative transportation to reduce traffic and improve air quality.
