Howard University, founded in 1867 and among the most prominent historically Black universities in the country, sits along Georgia Avenue NW between the Shaw and Petworth neighborhoods, with Howard University Hospital on the same campus. DCA Limos drives students, families and visitors to and from Howard's main gate, dormitories and the hospital daily, with chauffeurs who know the campus's entrances well enough to avoid the Georgia Avenue traffic that peaks around move-in weekend and Homecoming.

Howard's Homecoming each fall is one of the largest alumni gatherings of any university in the country, filling the surrounding Shaw and LeDroit Park blocks with visitors for the better part of a week — a period we plan for with extra lead time on every booking.
Move-in weekend brings a predictable crush of family cars onto Howard's campus roads, and a chauffeur who drops at the correct dormitory entrance and then clears out, rather than circling to find parking, is often faster than driving yourself. Family weekend and spring commencement follow a similar pattern, with the Yard and the main quad closed to general vehicle traffic during the ceremony itself.
Our Sprinter vans are a common booking for extended families attending commencement together, consolidating several individual cars into one coordinated vehicle for the day.
Howard Homecoming draws alumni from across the country for a week of events spanning the campus and the surrounding Shaw and LeDroit Park blocks, and street closures and parking restrictions shift from day to day as different events move through the neighborhood. We check the week's event schedule against your booking rather than assuming normal weekday traffic patterns.
Out-of-town alumni flying in for Homecoming are a regular booking, with Reagan National — about 18 to 28 minutes from campus — the closest of the three regional airports.
Howard University Hospital, on the same campus, generates its own steady stream of patient, family and staff transportation separate from the university's academic calendar, and our sedans handle those trips with a chauffeur who will walk you to the entrance rather than leave you to find your own way in.
