Metro Announces 2013 Inaugural SmarTrip Card

The presidential election may have just recently been decided, but it's not too soon to start thinking about the Inauguration on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013. And the traffic if you plan on attending the event or heading into Washington, D.C. that day!

Metro has begun accepting online orders for its commemorative 2013 Inaugural SmarTrip cards. Featuring an image of President Barack Obama, the reusable plastic card comes pre-loaded with a One-Day Pass that provides unlimited travel on Metrorail on the day it is first used.

Each commemorative card costs $15, which is only $1 more than the cost of a one-day paper pass and $4 less than the cost of purchasing a SmarTrip card and One-Day Pass separately. As an added bonus, the commemorative SmarTrip can be used as a "flash pass" for unlimited Metrobus travel on Inauguration Day, Jan. 21.
