  10. Planning for DC #14NTC SPEAKER PREP CALL Slide 10

  11. Arriving in DC D.C. Area Airports Three airports service the Washington, D.C. area: Reagan National Airport (DCA), located closest to the Wardman Park Marriott, and on a Metro line for easy access; Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Virginia; Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) near Baltimore Map of Woodley Park and Marriott Wardman Park Hotel http://www.nten.org/sites/default/files/images/marriott_wardman_park.png Metro Rail & Bus Metro rail and bus operates one of the largest public transportation systems in the country. The closest stop to the NTC is the Woodley Park Red Line stop, down the street from the hotel.  Fares range depending on destination but you can search for your fare using the Fare Finder.   If you plan to use Metro regularly during your stay, consider purchasing a refillable SmarTrip transit card.  Place your card over the green arrow reader at the station turnstile, and away you go. Trips taken using a SmarTrip card are a $1 cheaper than those with conventional paper tickets, and help reduce the amount of paper we're using at NTC! All DC Metro transit modes are accessible. For more information, contact the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. #14NTC SPEAKER PREP CALL Slide 11
