Metro Train and AU Shuttle Bus:
American University’s campus is located off of the Metro’s RED LINE. If you are using the metro for transportation, take the Red Line to the Tenleytown/AU metro stop. When exiting the metro station, use the escalators on your left. As you exit on street level, there will be a Panera Bread on your left side. Continue to walk straight ahead, past the Sears building, then turn towards your left and there will be a bus stop for American University’s free shuttle. Take the BLUE ROUTE shuttle bus to the second stop, which will bring you to the main campus, just behind the Ward Circle Building. Or you can walk from the Metro and skip the shuttle.
