Using your Transit Pass Benefit is easy:
1. Beginning on the first day of the benefit month, your
Transit Pass Benefit will be available for use in your
SmarTrip® Online account to purchase passes.
2. Log on to your SmarTrip® Online account, select the
smart card number to which your employer assigned
your SmartBenefits®. Your Transit Pass Benefit amount
will be displayed on the “View Card Summary” page.
(See a screen shot of this page on page 2 of this
document.)
3. Select “Add Pass/Set Up Auto Reload”, which will take
you to the page where you can choose the smart card
pass you wish to purchase.
4. Select the quantity of passes for one time purchase.
Smart cards can hold two unique products, such as
time-based passes (e.g. 7-day pass) or ride-based
passes (e.g. 10-trip ticket). The card can also hold
two copies of each unique product. One is active
and the other is inactive. Once a product has been
used, it is erased from your card. Or if you would
like to sign up for Auto Reload, choose “Add and
Set Up Auto Reload.” The first pass will be loaded to
your card, and Auto Reload will automatically load
another pass to your smart card when there are only
a few days remaining on your active pass. The cost of
each reloaded pass will be charged to your “Transit
Pass Benefits.” A credit card is required as a back-up
payment method, and will be charged only if your
“Transit Pass Benefits” have been exhausted.
5. As you proceed to view your shopping cart and
checkout, your Transit Pass Benefits will be charged
for the purchase of the pass. If your purchase exceeds
the value available in your Transit Pass Benefits, the
remainder can be paid by credit card. (See a screen
shot of this page on page 3 of this document.)
6. The products you purchase online will be delivered
to your smart card when your card is used at a
bus farebox, faregate, or fare vending machine.
At faregates and fare vending machines, product
delivery is available within one business day of
online purchase. Allow at least two business days
for bus farebox product delivery. You have 30 days
from the date of purchase to take advantage of your
product delivery.
If you have any problems with the purchasing process or
delivery of your fare products, please contact SmarTrip®
Customer Service at 1-888-762-7874.
