Shuttles

Shuttles and other government vehicles are available for use in performing your official responsibilities. Except for a very few senior USDA officials, government transportation may not be used to travel to work from home, or from home to work, and that includes government sponsored shuttle services. There are two shuttle systems in the DC area. These links will take you to the information about these systems:

• Beltsville Shuttle
• Food and Nutrition Service Shuttle (PDF, 142 KB): In addition to the Beltsville shuttle, the Food and Nutrition Service runs a shuttle between USDA offices at Park Center, HQ (South/Whitten), Portals, 9th Street, School St, Reporters, and Aerospace. Once you start at USDA, you can obtain a copy of the FNS shuttle by FNS Logistics office at 703-305-2220.

Phone Use

Here are basic dialing instructions for your phone:

• To call within USDA in the DC area, dial the 7 digit phone number.
• To make a local call, outside USDA, dial 9, then the area code and phone number.
