2026 NSTA CAPITOL HILL BUS IN
KIMPTON GEORGE, WASHINGTON, DC – March 11 and 12, 2026
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!!
NSTA is excited to announce that the registration for 2026 NSTA Capitol Hill Bus-In is now open!
Each spring, NSTA Members head to Capitol Hill to directly engage with Members of Congress.
In the past, Prime Policy Group has arranged over 250 individual meetings at the Capitol Hill Bus-In, giving members the chance to speak to their representatives, making decisions on issues that directly affect their daily operations. This event is crucial to NSTA's federal advocacy efforts and helps us educate Washington about the issues that face private student transportation.
The 2026 NSTA Capitol Hill Bus-In registration is located just above this text in the tile on the upper left-hand side of this screen.
In addition to registering for the event, please take a moment to also:
Book your Room at NSTA ROOM BLOCK: This year's event is being held during the prime season of organizational advocacy, and it's being held once again, at a premier location, the Kimpton-George, just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol. Because hotel room space is limited in DC at this time, our Room Block requires a two-day stay, both nights (March 11-12), and our schedule has been created to accommodate this requirement.
IMPORTANT: Once you fully register for Bus-In, you will receive the NSTA Room Block link from NSTA staff. Reservations must be completed by Feb. 11, 2026 (if not sold out earlier), and only after you register for the event.
Host Hotel Information:
Kimpton George Hotel
15 E St NW, Washington, DC 20001
Phone: (202) 347-4200
Complete the CONGRESSIONAL PAIRING FORMS: After registration, complete your Congressional Pairings Form, so that Prime Policy Group, NSTA's D.C. lobbyist, can schedule your meetings on the Hill. You must complete your form by February 20, 2026! Be advised, that please do not schedule your own Capitol Hill meetings. Instead, we encourage you to use the form to highlight any additional congressional relationships you may have that might fall outside your operating locations and corresponding congressional districts. We strongly encourage you to schedule your Washington DC flight to arrive before 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 11th, and depart on Friday morning, March 13th. Only this way, our team will have enough flexibility to schedule the meetings, and you will be able to book the mandatory 2 nights in the Kimpton George room block.
* Important: this event is for NSTA MEMBERS ONLY. If you are not an NSTA member and are interested in becoming one, please reach out to Gabrielle Horn at ghorn@yellowbuses.org.
See you in DC!
