Transit Benefits

Georgetown employees who use Metrobus and Metrorail can receive pre-tax transit benefits by enrolling in SmartBenefits. Employees can elect to deduct funds from their paycheck before taxes and add them to their SmarTrip card. After enrolling, the funds will be automatically added to your card each month and any unused benefits will be rolled over to the next month.

Effective December 1, 2016, the process of enrolling in SmartBenefits has changed. You will no longer be able to enroll in SmartBenefits through the benefit election process. To enroll, waive, or make changes to your SmartBenefits, first download and complete this SmartBenefits Transit Payroll Deduction form. Please note that if you are already enrolled, you need to use this form to make any changes. You are also only allowed one change per year.

Main Campus employees may email the completed form to otmfinance@georgetown.edu or drop the form off in person in the OTM office located in Kennedy Hall on the Mezzanine “M” Level. You can also reach Tasia Manson via phone at 202-687-4372.
Law Center employees may email the completed form to Marshall Lucas at mal48@law.georgetown.edu. Marshall can also be reached at 202-662-9330 or in the Facilities and Parking Office, McDonough Hall, Room 154.

Employees can not sign up for parking and Smart Benefits.
