Alexandria Union Station, adjacent to King Street Metro station, is served by both Amtrak and the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) commuter railway.

Alexandria DASH Bus

Alexandria's local bus system has several routes with stops near the USPTO, with the AT7 line being the closest. Please see the DASH schedule for more information. 

Parking

Public garage parking immediately adjacent to the Madison Building is available for purchase in the East Garage (recommended) and in the West Garage. Hourly and daily parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Pay kiosks are located in the elevator landings of the P2 and P3 levels in the East Garage and P1 and P2 levels in the West Garage. In the uncommon event that both garages reach capacity, parking will be limited to monthly permit holders and USPTO employees, but other public garage parking is amply available in the immediate area.
