If you are enrolling to receive a transit benefit with DC Metro, you will need to have obtained a SmarTrip card and registered it at https://smartrip.wmata.com. Once you have obtained and registered your SmarTrip card, you will be able to use Jawnt to enroll in your organization’s DC Metro benefit.
Obtaining a SmarTrip card
There are three ways to obtain your own SmarTrip card.
Request a physical card by mail. Order your own plastic SmarTrip card through the SmarTrip store. Cards are sent out within five business days. These physical cards are automatically registered, skipping the Registration step below.
In person from a fare vending machine. These machines are located at every Metrorail station and Metro retail outlet. Cards purchased from fare vending machines must be registered (Registering a SmarTrip card below).
