How Does SelectPass Work?

1. Select the price that works for you. The pass will be loaded to your SmarTrip® card at the beginning of the month.
2. Ride Metro for 18 days roundtrip, and get the rest of the month for free.
3. Save with unlimited FREE additional trips within your price range. For trips outside of your price range, you only pay the difference.

To purchase a pass you should have a registered SmarTrip® card. To register your card now click here.

Why You Should Consider It

1. The more you ride the more you save.
2. Enjoy multiple days of free travel each month.
3. SmartBenefits® participants can take advantage of their transit subsidy, which completely covers the cost of the Metro SelectPass.
4. Add unlimited Metrobus/Metroway usage for just $45 a month.

All trips up to the pass value are included in the pass. For trips with a higher fare than the value selected, you can set up auto reload for at least $10 in value to ensure you have enough fare to cover every trip.

 

For best value, purchase next months pass between the 16th and the last day of the current month.

WTOP radio, 8/29:
 

New monthly Metro pass could save you money, but sign up soon for full savings

 

 

WASHINGTON — Regular Metro commuters can save more than $30 a month in some cases with new monthly passes, but riders who want to take full advantage in September must buy the passes early this week.

 

Metro is expanding a pilot program for the monthly passes that had previously been targeted at a smaller segment of riders to now include unlimited rides at more price points — including for riders who typically pay the maximum rush-hour fare of $5.90 each way.

 

“Those are people who might be using our 28-day pass right now, and for those customers, being able to now get a SelectPass, where you’re paying for 18 round trips and then you get unlimited rides per month, it’s a huge savings for them,” Metro spokesperson Sherri Ly said.

WMATA news release 11/24/17:

 
Metro announces expansion of SelectPass, the monthly unlimited pass for Metrorail

 

 

Metro today announced the expansion of its monthly SelectPass to all pricing levels, giving customers the ability to select the right Metrorail pass for their needs and save up to 20 percent per month.

 

With SelectPass, riders pay for 18 days of round-trip travel, selecting a price point based on the fare of their typical rush-hour trip. Once the pass is loaded, customers can take unlimited rush-hour trips valued up to the price point selected. In addition, customers can take unlimited off-peak (midday, evening, and weekend) trips anywhere on the Metrorail system. SelectPass price points start at $2.00 for riders who primarily travel off-peak and increase at $0.25 increments up to $6.

 

SelectPass makes traveling on Metro convenient and affordable. Riders pay once a month, and the SelectPass is automatically loaded onto their registered SmarTrip® card on a recurring basis. 

 

The additional SelectPass price points are available for customers to purchase now for travel starting in December.
