Students and summer youth employees in Washington D.C. will soon receive new SmartTrip One Cards good for travel throughout the entire Metro transit system. Initially, the One Card program was designed to provide District residents with access to certain facilities such as parks and recreation centers, and libraries. Now, with the cards doubling as SmarTrip cards, students will be able to use a single ID to ride the Metro and access their schools and workplaces.

The back of each SmarTrip One Card will include the One Card logo, a District flag, the SmarTrip logo, and the trademark Metro “M.” In addition to One Cards, there is also a push by many officials to eventually include SmarTrip technology in driver’s licenses for D.C. residents.
