The team announced in December 2009 that it was discontinuing the Nats Shuttle, which offered free parking and shuttle service at RFK Stadium.

The Nationals offer single-game parking, which can be purchased in advance. New "economy" lots have been announced for 2010: Lot HH ($5/game) and Lot W ($10/game), for both pre-purchase and cash on site. Pre-purchase is also available at Lot T ($20/game), Lot U ($25/game), Lot L ($30/game), and Red Zone parking for either $35 or $40/game; cash on site may or may not be available at these lots, seemingly dependent on the expected crowd for the event.

Lots shown without prices are for season-ticket holders only.

There are also cash lots being operated around the neighborhood near the ballpark, usually starting at around $20 per game. Those that operated in 2009 are marked on the map in yellow boxes, but there are others, and the lineup and prices may change for 2010. Follow the signs. For more information on the lots at the Yards, including discount passes, go to DCBaseballParking.com.

For driving directions, see the official Nationals web site; there's also an interactive trip planner to determine how to get to specific lots.
