Woodglen Park & Ride Lot

The NIH is leasing 300 parking spaces at the Woodglen parking lot in Rockville, MD. This commuter parking area is used for employees and Training Center students for 3WF, which is less than a quarter-mile walk to 3WF. An NIH Shuttle stops have been added to the NSC and Woodglen shuttle routes to accommodate commuters parked at Woodglen.  

To park at the Woodglen satellite lot, NIH employees and contractors/tenants must display an official NIH Parking Permit (the one that hangs from the rearview mirror), a DATS-issued dashboard temporary placard, or an NIH Training Center Student Parking Permit.  There is no fee to park at the satellite lot; however, failure to display a proper permit could result in your vehicle being towed at the owner's expense.

Employees and contractors/tenants may request an NIH Parking Permit online by logging in to https://commuter.ors.od.nih.gov/.  Questions or concerns email the NIH Parking Office (nihparkingoffice@nih.gov).
