Important SmarTrip® Notice: Effective April 1st, the New "Plan Ahead...Pay It Forward" Initiative Begins

Effective April 1, 2015, DASH will no longer offer the capability of adding value to a SmarTrip® card on the bus. Riders are able to take advantage of the network of locations to add value to their SmarTrip® card around the city and the region, including all Metrorail Stations, most CVS and Giant stores, the Alexandria Transit Store and Arlington and Fairfax Commuter Stores. Adding value to a SmarTrip® card can also be done online and even from a smartphone. By eliminating the add value option on the bus, all DASH customers will experience a more convenient ride, with less hassle, ease in boarding, and reliable departures and arrivals.

For more information on the "Plan Ahead...Pay It Forward" Initiative and locations to add value to your SmarTrip® card, please visit DASHbus.com/PlanAhead.
