============

The deadline to cash in your paper Metrocheks is almost here.  MARCH 31, 2009 is the last day that transit agencies including PRTC and Metro will accept Metrocheks and transfer that value to your SmarTrip card.

Metrocheks are being eliminated in favor of SmartBenefits, an electronic credit that can be quickly downloaded directly to your SmarTrip card at any Metrorail station using a Passes/Farecard machine.  Need more information?  Visit www.MetroOpensDoors.com and click on the "SmartBenefits" link.
