DART Regional Passes are rolling passes. They are valid from first activation and allow for unlimited travel in any direction within the time window of the pass, including reverse rides on the same bus route. Unused passes do not expire.

All DART Regional Passes are valid for travel on SMART and DDOT fixed route service, SMART Flex, northbound trips on MTA Flint's Great Lakes Crossing Regional Route, and Port Huron bound trips on Blue Water Area Transit's M29 service. Present an activated paper or mobile pass to the driver when boarding.

Regional DART passes are not valid for travel on ADA Paratransit service. For these services, use a SMART Only DART pass or pay with cash.

SMART Value Passes are an excellent option for infrequent SMART riders. Unlike other DART passes, Value Passes have no time-based expiration. They instead provide a declining pay-as-you-go balance. Each time you use your Value Pass, your remaining balance will be printed on the back.

Value Passes are available in two cost-saving denominations: A $10 pass ($11 in fare value) and a $20 pass ($22 in fare value). If you are eligible for reduced fares, the appropriate fare will be deducted when using the pass. You must tell the driver if you are a reduced fare traveler before inserting your pass into the farebox. Proper ID is required for reduced fares.

Value Passes are good for travel on all SMART fixed routes. They are not valid on Flex, ADA/Paratransit Service, or DDOT routes.
