iRide Student Fare Free Program
All ART Routes + Limited WMATA Metrobus Routes
APS students with a registered Student iRide SmarTrip card can ride all ART buses for free, and approved WMATA Metrobus routes if the trip begins or ends in Arlington. See below for approved WMATA routes.
Students with existing Student iRide SmarTrip cards can automatically participate in the fare free program and do not need to perform any additional requirements. If a student does not have a Student iRide SmarTrip card and would like one, they will need to either contact the Transportation Coordinator (TC) located onsite at their school or visit a Commuter Store.
When boarding a bus, students must tap their iRide Card on the red bullseye on the fare box.
The Metrobus routes that students can ride for free in Arlington include: A11, A12, A25, A27, A40, A49, A50, A58, A66, A70, A71, A76, F20, F26, F44, F60, F61, F62, F68, A1X
Students who use their iRide SmarTrip card on Metrobus routes not listed above and routes outside of Arlington need to pay the Metrobus fare. If they do not, their iRide SmarTrip card may be disabled.
Students use public transportation at their own risk and APS is not responsible for students who elect to use public transportation. Contact [email protected] for any additional assistance.
Please contact your school’s Transportation Coordinator to apply for a new or replacement iRide Student SmarTrip card. Transportation Coordinators are listed below.
