The District Department of Transportation announced today it would extend tour bus registration for the upcoming presidential inauguration to Saturday, January 17, 2009. Motor coach buses can register at www.bus.dc.gov for a trip permit and a designated parking space. Registration on the site has been increasing on a regular basis and District officials recognize motor coach carriers would need additional time to complete their planning and preparation. There are approximately 3,000 buses currently registered.
