Shopping and Public Parking Around the Brookland Campus
Public parking around the campus is a practical alternative when a campus permit is not available. The nearby Rhode Island DMV parking garage offers hourly parking, while other public options include lots and garages in the wider Washington, DC area.
For a short visit, an hourly facility can suit an appointment or campus meeting more closely than a monthly arrangement. Drivers staying longer can compare daily or monthly spaces away from campus, including options near Channing Street NE. The surrounding Ward 5 streets are near a university, so public parking is generally more useful than assuming a curb space will be available for a full day.
Parksy Spaces for CUA Students, Staff, and Visitors
Parksy lists a parking lot 0.6 mi from the campus at $6 a day, a garage 0.8 mi away at $6.50 a day, and a valet-service lot 1.2 mi away at $20 a day. The lower-priced lot is suited to visitors and staff making a daytime trip, while the garage offers another daily option for students or employees who need a more structured space.
Monthly parking is available on Channing Street NE, 0.8 mi away, at $150 a month, with two listed spaces at that price. Those spaces are the clearest fit for students or staff parking regularly. The Rhode Island DMV parking garage is 0.9 mi away and costs $2 an hour, making it useful for a shorter visit rather than a full day.
Brookland–CUA Station and Walking Access to Campus
Brookland–CUA Station is the nearest rail station, 0.2 mi from the campus and a 5-minute walk. The station provides the most direct rail approach for students, staff, and visitors who want to avoid driving into Ward 5.
The campus is 1.4 mi from the center of nearby Howard University. Drivers using a Parksy space can combine parking with a walk to campus, with listed spaces ranging from 0.6 mi to 1.2 mi away.
