LADIES - We want to help you get to Women of Faith!

If you are coming from the baltimore area,
here are a few options.

Option 1: Amtrak → Metro (Friday & Saturday)

You can take the Amtrak train from Baltimore to Washington’s Union Station.  The roundtrip fare is as low as $28.00… not bad considering you don’t have to fight any traffic or parking fees in downtown in D.C.!  

**The sooner you book your ticket- the lower the fare. The easiest way to get your ticket is to call: 800-872-7245. Just tell the representative what time you’d like to get into D.C. on Friday and Saturday, and they’ll help you pick the right train. You can also book online at http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak.
