Capitol South is a transfer stop on DC Metro (Silver, Orange, Blue), with 2 elevators and 5 escalators in the published inventory. This page shows whether those elevators look usable right now, using the same Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) feed as the live map.

On the Silver Line, the previous stop is Federal Center SW and the next is Eastern Market. If the elevator here is out and you can ride one more stop, check those stations or the live map before you go.

A working Metro elevator does not get you through Capitol security or into the Library. Those have their own access rules.
