Recommend locations: Federal Triangle, Smithsonian, Metro Center. For metro info: (Check out our March for Life map you can print off paper copies OR download the March for Life app.) Have your metro card easily accessible, before you enter the station. Metro Stations are crowded during rush hour, and even more crowded on the March for Life, during rush hour. Keep in mind that in the Washington Metro system, you need to tap in and tap out of their faregates. One way to alleviate long lines, and avoid the frustration of fellow metro riders is to have your metro card ready, in your hand, before you enter the line for the faregate. Also

5 you do not need to wait for the gates to close after the person in front of you walks through, just ensure you tap your card to the SmarTrip target and proceed through the gate. Important Notes While walking and riding the metro in D.C. please be respectful of residents and commuters. Let s show the Nation s Capital how passionate and polite and respectful prolifers really are! Please read these 6 tips for riding the metro. Do not leave trash or signs on the grounds of the National Mall, Supreme Court, or Capitol. This is our Nation s Capital and we should treat it with dignity and respect. If trash bins are full, please carry your trash or sign with you until you find an available trash bin. Do not engage with counter-protesters. Once again, please be respectful of all people and stay focused on the cause of promoting and celebrating life, lovingly, prayerfully, and graciously.
