The DC One Card with SmarTrip® technology is a permanent, rechargeable farecard.  It's plastic–like a credit card–and is embedded with a special computer chip that keeps track of the value of the card.
 
The benefits of using SmarTrip® include:
  • Using your SmarTrip®-enabled DC One Card is easy and fast!  Instead of inserting a farecard through the Metrorail faregate slot, you simply touch the SmarTrip® DC One Card to the circular target panels on top of or inside station faregates. Likewise, you can tap the SmarTrip® farebox on Metrobus to pay your fare with SmarTrip. For more information, see the SmarTrip® on Metrobus.
  • Your SmarTrip®-enabled DC One Card is issued with a $0 balance, but, you may add up to $300 in Metro value on a SmarTrip® DC One Card, so it can last a long time between charging. See adding value to your SmarTrip® DC One Card to learn how to add funds to your DC One Card.
  • If you lose a registered card, you don't lose the value. Get a replacement DC One Card from the issuing agency (may require a fee) or purchase a SmarTrip® card from any Metro outlet. Call (202) 671-CARD (2273) if you have questions about how to receive a replacement DC One Card. Once you have your new card, you can call the SmarTrip® Regional Customer Service Center at 1 (888) 762-7874 to have your DC One Card updated with the value on the card at the time you reported it lost.
