Free Shuttle
Georgetown University Transportation System (GUTS)
Beginning August 2, Georgetown University Hospital's shuttle bus provider, International Limousine, will be asking all staff, volunteers and patients to present a valid ID (hospital ID, driver's license or state ID, etc.) to utilize the shuttle bus. This is a new process that is being required by Washington Metro Area Transit Authority.
Please make sure you have a valid ID with you when you board any shuttle bus. Please note that presenting an ID will be required by all shuttle services (GUTS, Abe's, or International Limo). Patients and visitors will be required to present ID and sign-in as well.
Georgetown provides free shuttle service for patients, visitors and families to and from Dupont Circle (Massachusetts Avenue and 20th Street) and Rosslyn metro stations. For the shuttle schedule, click here or call 202-444-RIDE (1499) for pre-recorded information.
Campus Stops: The Dupont shuttle bus stop is located outside the Pasquerilla Healthcare Center between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. For your safety and security, Pasquerilla Healthcare Center doors are locked at 7 p.m., please use the Emergency Department entrance.
The Rosslyn shuttle bus drops off and picks up riders on North Road between the University's Southwest Quad and Harbin Field. This drop off/pick up location is approximately three tenths of a mile from the Hospital. Patients and visitors who are not comfortable walking this distance are encouraged to take the Dupont Circle shuttle instead.
Hospital employees must show ID badge when boarding. Patients, or family of a patient, will need to inform the driver that they are coming to the hospital for a medical reason and will be asked to write down their name upon boarding.

Georgetown University Hospital provides free shuttle service for patients and employees from the Rosslyn and Dupont Metro stations Monday thru Friday between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 11:45 p.m. Buses depart every 15 minutes during peak hours of 6:30 a.m.– 9:30 am and 3:30 p.m.– 6:30 pm. At other times departures occur every 30 minutes. The Rosslyn station is located at 19th and Moore Streets, and Dupont Circle station is at Massachusetts Avenue and 20th Street.
