The DowntownDC BID is a nonprofit that works to improve DowntownDC’s public environment, economy, and social equity. Our goal is to create a vibrant, inviting, and smart Downtown for residents, workers, and visitors.

Approximately 520 buildings are located in the BID area, which is bordered by the National Mall on the south, Massachusetts Avenue (including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center) on the north, Louisiana Avenue on the east and the White House and 16th Street on the west. The DowntownDC BID area encompasses the neighborhoods of Gallery Place, Chinatown, Federal Triangle, Franklin Square, McPherson Square, Midtown and Penn Quarter. Property owners fund this special district through tax assessments. 

The DowntownDC BID provides services in the areas of safety, hospitality and maintenance through our red-uniformed Safety/Hospitality and Maintenance (SAM) employees, physical improvements, homeless services, transportation, marketing, special events, planning, economic development and environmental sustainability. In addition, the DowntownDC BID provides management services to affiliated non-profit organizations including the District of Columbia Surface Transit, Inc. (DCST).
