SMART Cards

SMART Cards are electronic readers that can be loaded with either pre-paid rides (in multiples of 10) or as a time-based pass. If you select pre-paid rides, your card will be loaded with 10-ride increments. If you select a time-based pass, your card will be loaded with 30-day increments. The cost to purchase a SMART Card is $3.70 (2026 Rates). The card fee covers the card expense, set-up, and a registration option. This re-loadable card can be used over and over again.
