Van Pools & Transit Services

All passengers must have a registered SmarTrip® card and must be enrolled in their employer's SmartBenefits® program. The enrolled registered card number is what links you to your transit benefit. If you have a SmarTrip® card, but you're not sure if it's registered, call SmarTrip® Customer Service to verify: 1-888-SMARTRIP (762-7874). If you are not sure if you're enrolled, contact your SmartBenefits® administrator.

If you plan to use a van pool, MetroAccess, MARC, VRE, D & B Bus/Quick's Commuter Service, National Coachworks/Martz, CommuterDirect.com, Arlington County Commuter stores or MTA commuter buses, allocate your benefit to your transit provider by the designated date.
