Transit Benefits

Transit benefits may be used towards PRTC bus fares. 

Metrochek is a tax-free, employer-sponsored benefit.  Metrochek vouchers can be redeemed toward SmarTrip value, which can then be used to pay PRTC bus fares.  Metrocheks are being discontinued in favor of SmartBenefits (see below). Metrocheks are no longer accepted at PRTC, but may be used to load value on SmarTrip cards at Passes/Farecards machines at Metrorail stations.

SmartBenefits^® is the electronically paid monthly (Metrochek) transit benefit that can be downloaded to SmarTrip cards using the Passes/Farecards machines at Metrorail stations.
