## National Archives Parking at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest

The National Archives has no parking available at the building, according to the National Archives visitor information page (visit.archives.gov). Drivers looking for a station-side facility should therefore plan around street parking or a nearby garage rather than an on-site car park. The location is 701 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.

Limited street parking is available on 7th Street and Constitution Avenue (visit.archives.gov). The National Archives Store also identifies street parking on 7th Street and Constitution Avenue, as well as throughout the surrounding area (nationalarchivesstore.org). These spaces are the closest publicly described option connected with the building.

## Commuter Parking Options Near the Station

Street spaces serving the National Archives are metered and have a two-hour maximum, according to the National Archives Foundation (archivesfoundation.org).

The National Archives Foundation reports parking fees ranging from $10 to $20, depending on the time of day and length of time parked (archivesfoundation.org). The National Archives visitor page confirms that parking at the building itself is unavailable, making the two-hour street limit and metered charges important constraints for anyone planning a regular journey.

## Street Parking on 7th Street and Constitution Avenue

Limited street parking is available on 7th Street and Constitution Avenue, according to the National Archives (visit.archives.gov). The National Archives Foundation describes the spaces as metered and sets a two-hour maximum (archivesfoundation.org). Those rules make the nearby curbside supply more appropriate for short stops than an all-day rail commute.

The National Archives Store also lists street parking on 7th Street and Constitution Avenue and throughout the surrounding area (nationalarchivesstore.org). Drivers using the curb should allow for the posted meter conditions and the stated two-hour maximum, while recognizing that the National Archives does not provide a dedicated car park (visit.archives.gov).
