ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Transit (ART) and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) have entered an agreement to provide free Metrobus routes in ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app for ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Public School (ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app) students. Starting January 16, 2024, any ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app student with a registered Student iRide SmarTrip card can ride approved WMATA Metrobus routes for free, and only if the trip begins or ends in ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app. The Metrobus routes that students can ride for free in ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app include:
Students who use their iRide SmarTrip card on Metrobus routes not listed above and routes outside of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app need to pay the Metrobus fare. If they do not, their iRide SmarTrip card may be disabled.

All travel on ART buses is still free, for ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app students with a registered Student iRide SmarTrip card. Students with existing Student iRide SmarTrip cards can automatically participate in the fare free program and do not need to perform any additional requirements.

Students must have an iRide SmarTrip card to ride ART or Metrobus for free. When boarding a bus, students must tap their card on the red bullseye on the fare box.
Students use public transportation at their own risk and ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app is not responsible for students who elect to use public transportation.
