The NIH shuttle system on and around the Bethesda main campus announced service changes on June 23. These changes include shuttle/route modifications, National Cancer Institute (NCI) shuttle consolidation and ID checks.
The campus shuttle route now includes two options: Campus North and South. The Campus North shuttle begins at the Medical Center Metro station and heads toward Bldg. 1 and continues to loop around campus. The Campus South shuttle starts at the Medical Center Metro, heads toward Bldg. 45 and continues to loop around campus in the opposite direction of the Campus North shuttle.
The Campus Limited shuttle is now the Metro/Bldg. 31A Express. This shuttle will operate between 7:00 a.m. – 9:55 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. The Bldg. 10 Express shuttle now operates between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Additionally, the Rockledge, Fishers Lane and NCI- Shady Grove shuttles will no longer enter the main campus. Passengers will disembark at the Medical Center Metro station at South Drive and Rockville Pike and either enter the Gateway Center or walk through the pedestrian portals.
Passengers should be prepared to display NIH-issued identification or valid visitor credentials upon request. NIH staff with a valid NIH-issued identification should proceed through the pedestrian portal and continue to their destination on campus either by walking or using interior campus shuttles. Visitors must first go to the Gateway Visitor Center for security screening to obtain a visitor badge. After clearing security, visitors may proceed to their campus destination.
