The Office of Budget and Travel/Public Transit Incentive Program (OBT/PTIP) participants require access to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) SmartBenefits portal for providing transportation on WMATA and other Commuter Services within the National Capital Region (NCR). Description of Service: This is a service requirement to provide public transportation fare media that must consist of a “transit pass” able to accommodate all modes of public transportation that covers the NCR and must be compatible with the Metro Rail, NCR bus and Commuter services.

Service includes, but is not limited to, providing an online database to keep an updated listing of all participants, a web-based program that lets Department of Treasury employers assign the dollar value of DO employees’ monthly commuting benefits directly to the employees, an electronic system that will allow participants to allocate benefits in several commuter services within the DMV area, providing DO with an administrator and an alternate(s) to assign the transit benefits to eligible participants through the contractor’s database. This database must allow participants to use the SmarTrip card to access services throughout their Allocation accounts. The Allocation account must provide services for the NCR area.
