ATP Takeaway: From student iRide SmarTrip cards to VRE tickets, Arlington’s Commuter Stores have everything you need to get from point A to point B. 

Sometimes navigating the area’s numerous transit options can be confusing. Where do you catch the bus? What route should you take? How much will it cost? Apps and other digital tools are a common solution, but what if you want to talk to an actual person? Where can you go? The Commuter Store! There, you’ll meet knowledgeable professionals who provide one-on-one assistance with applying SmartBenefits, exploring routes, purchasing fares and so much more.
