Readers will recall the article in last month’s Compendium concerning the adventure of attending a CCH at the new Barbara Jordan Building in the Capital Complex at 1601 Congress Avenue. That article included the shortcut to a YouTube video produced by the Division containing instructions for parking and attending a hearing.

This month the Division released additional information calculated to address some of the confusion surrounding availability of parking while attending a hearing. You may find the Division’s latest instructions here: TDI website

1)    Mobility-impaired participants may park in the garage beneath the Barbara Jordan Building if they have a valid handicap parking permit and contact DWC.

2)    The Division does provide a limited number of parking spaces for hearing participants, however, you must contact DWC at least 5 working days prior to the hearing to request a parking pass which will be emailed to you.
