Chartered Bus Operation Anticipated up to 10,000 chartered buses carrying
500,000 participants to DC Basic rules to be followed
All buses must be registered A parking permit is required All registered buses will have assigned designated routes to
enter DC Designated loading zones for dropping-off and loading
