Here are some helpful links and advice to easily navigate your way at the State Capitol
Parking Tips:
- The best option for parking and getting easily to the Legislature will be at the off campus parking lots and taking the free DASH shuttle.
Note: The Visitor Parking Lot on Jefferson Street is currently under construction.
- There may be parking in a section marked for buses, on the diagonal leading to the Legislative Building (rotunda), but likely there won't be parking space at that time.*
*Note: Tour and school buses may unload and reload passengers on the Capitol Campus at the Winged Victory statue (at the junction of the North and South Diagonals). Buses should then park in the bus parking area at the Capitol Visitor Lot.
DASH: Free downtown shuttle
