Bike racks are located throughout campus with increasing locations being added. The Metropolitan Branch Trail will run parallel to the Metro along the east edge of campus (along John McCormack Road). This paved bike path is currently being extended from Silver Spring, Maryland to Union Station. This extension will facilitate local access between the Fort Totten Metro, Catholic University and the surrounding community. For more information on this project, please click here.

In February 2019, Transportation and Parking Services installed a TransitScreen by the ground floor entrance to the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center. TransitScreen displays real-time transportation feeds from a variety of transit modes, including Metro, Metrobus, ridesharing (Uber), car sharing (Zipcar), and the campus shuttle. We look forward adding additional feeds to this list. Come take a look the next time you are in the Pryz!

ZipCar is a convenient car sharing service available on campus. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Catholic University who create a ZipCar membership are waived the $25 dollar application fee when they join with the University. Registering with the University also reduces the cost of an annual membership fee to $15 (a $55 discount). To register with the University, please visit the ZipCar website.
