Yes, in the fall of 2026, PATH is planning to completely phase out SmartLink as a fare payment system as part of the full transition to our new fare payment system, Total Access PATH Payment, known as TAPP.

The last day to use SmartLink to pay your PATH fare will be announced at a later date.

We highly recommend that you use all of your SmartLink products as they are non-transferrable to TAPP.

Yes. You can continue to use any SmartLink fare products you have to pay your PATH fare. However, PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink completely in the fall of 2026. An exact date will be shared later. You may continue to use SmartLink at turnstiles that accept this payment method until that time.

As part of the transition to the new TAPP fare payment system, starting on Monday, March 30, 2026, you will not be able to purchase 1-, 2-, 4-, 10-, 20-, or 40-trip products on SmartLink unless you are a Reduced Fare customer or enrolled in electronic pre-paid transit benefits that are automatically loaded onto your SmartLink card each month through a participating transit benefit provider. As of that date, you can only purchase 1-, 7-, and 30-Day Unlimited Passes with SmartLink. Customers can instead purchase these trip products on the new TAPP Card; learn more at tappandride.com.

Customers with existing trips on their SmartLink Cards will be able to still use those trips to pay for their PATH fare until further notice.

Yes, SmartLink Cards can still be purchased online at www.pathsmartlinkcard.com. However, since SmartLink is planning to be phased out in the fall of 2026, we recommend customers purchase a TAPP Card instead of a SmartLink Card.

TAPP is PATH's new contactless fare payment system. You can pay for rides by tapping a contactless credit or debit card, a mobile wallet, or a TAPP Card at the turnstile.

TAPP makes travel faster and more convenient by removing the need to line up to purchase tickets.

For more information, please visit tappandride.com.

No; SmartLink products are not able to transfer to TAPP.

Please use your existing SmartLink balance (fare, trips and passes) prior to SmartLink ending in the fall of 2026.

In the fall of 2026, PATH is planning to retire SmartLink as a fare payment system and fully transitioning to Total Access PATH Payment (TAPP). The exact date will be announced at a later time.

Yes, you can have both cards at the same time (please note, depending on when you get a TAPP Card, some products may or may not be available yet).

Please note: You cannot add/register your TAPP Card to a SmartLink account. You must create a TAPP account at tappandride.com/register if you desire to register your TAPP Card. Once you register your card, you will be able to view trips, track charges, and manage payment methods.

TAPP makes travel on PATH faster and easier. You can tap your credit/debit card or mobile wallet at the turnstile for quick, seamless entry, and because you can add value to your TAPP Card online with no wait, you'll see fewer lines at vending machines.

If you register for a TAPP account, you can view your trips, charges, set account notifications, and easily replace a lost or stolen TAPP Card.

Unlike SmartLink, you can also add stored value to your TAPP Card, you're not limited to just trip or pass products.

At vending machines in any PATH station.

Online at tappandride.com.

There is a one-time fee of $5.00 when purchasing a new TAPP Card.

For a limited time, PATH is offering a $5 TAPP travel credit promotion! Customers who purchase a TAPP Card and register it to their TAPP customer account will get a $5 travel credit applied to their TAPP Card. This promotion is only available to the first TAPP Card registered per customer account.

TAPP can be used at the blue-wrapped turnstiles at all PATH stations.

Please note: SmartLink Cards are not accepted at TAPP turnstiles.

Not yet. However, reduced fare riders can use TAPP now by linking their discount to a contactless payment method. More information is available in the TAPP Reduced Fare Programs FAQ at tappandride.com/faq/RF.

A TAPP Card for Seniors and Riders with Disabilities (reduced fare riders) will be available later in 2026. In the meantime, please ensure your contact information is up to date so PATH can mail your reduced fare TAPP Card when the time comes.

Customers eligible for a reduced fare can apply through PATH's existing reduced fare process.

Once approved, your discount can be linked to a TAPP payment method of your choice.

We're committed to keeping your personal and financial information safe and secure. Please see TAPP's Privacy Policy to learn more.

Yes. If you currently use transit benefits to pay for PATH on SmartLink, you can continue using them with TAPP. Just follow the same process you use today with your benefits provider.

You can continue loading your transit benefit funds onto your preferred payment method or use them to purchase and refill a TAPP Card.

If you are looking to purchase trip products (10-, 20-, 40 trip bundles) or convert to stored value, PATH recommends you purchase a TAPP Card.

If you plan on purchasing pass products (1-, 7-, 30-day passes) and using them over the Spring of 2026, then we recommend purchasing a SmartLink Card for now.

• The discounted (1-,7-,30- day passes) remain on SmartLink for now and will be available on the TAPP Card at a future date.
• Starting on Monday, March 30, 2026, you can only purchase 1-, 7-, and 30-Day Unlimited Passes with SmartLink, (remaining SmartLink trips will be valid until further notice). If you would like to purchase trips with TAPP, please visit tappandride.com.
• Reduced-fare riders can use TAPP now by linking their discount to a contactless payment method. More information is available in the TAPP Reduced Fare Programs FAQ at tappandride.com/faq/RF.
• A TAPP Card for Seniors and Riders with Disabilities (reduced fare riders) will be available later in 2026. In the meantime, please ensure your contact information is up to date with PATH so a TAPP Reduced Fare Card can be mailed when they become available.

In the fall of 2026, PATH will retire SmartLink as a fare payment system, transitioning to Total Access PATH Payment, or TAPP.

PATH does not issue cash refunds. For more information, visit https://www.panynj.gov/path/en/fares.html.

These components enable it to be used without insertion or swiping and provide the means for PATH to offer a variety of convenient and beneficial services to SmartLinkSM Card holders.

The plastic, credit card-sized PATH SmartLinkSM Card uses radio frequency and "smart card" technology. When presented within one to two inches of the center of the circular target on the PATH turnstiles and vending machines, the target is able to communicate with the card to read and update the information it contains. No personal data is stored on the SmartLinkSM Card itself. This technology is used in transit systems around the world.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

*Please note:

a) The SmartLink Card can only hold a maximum of six products (three different products and two of each type). Any products above this threshold will not load onto a SmartLink Card until there is room and will remain in a pending status for up to 60 days.

b) Products purchased online will remain in a pending status for 60 days until the card is tapped in a station and loaded onto the SmartLink Card.

If these pending products are not loaded onto the card within 60 days, the products will no longer be available on the card.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

As part of the transition to the new TAPP fare payment system, starting on Monday, March 30, 2026, you will not be able to purchase 1-, 10-, 20-, or 40-trip products on SmartLink unless you are a Reduced Fare customer. As of that date, you can only purchase 1-, 7-, and 30-Day Unlimited Passes with SmartLink. Customers can instead purchase their trip products on the new TAPP Card; learn more at tappandride.com.

Automatic Replenishment is a convenient service for those who prefer to have their SmartLinkSM Cards automatically filled with either 20 or 40 trips, or a 30-day Unlimited Pass, every time the card's balance reaches the preset threshold of 5 trips or 5 days.

Senior SmartLinkSM Cardholders with a Web Account may purchase one-time replenishments of 10, 20, or 40 trips online until otherwise notified at a later date. Senior Cardholders may also set up automatic replenishment through a Web account. Senior Cardholders may choose between 20 or 40 trip discounted product for the Automatic Replenishment service or pay the full-fare price for a 30-day Unlimited Pass. Please Note: Automatic Replenishment is only available to PATH SmartLinkSM Card Web Account holders.

The following trip products and passes for your SmartLinkSM Card are available online only: 1-, 7-, or 30-day Unlimited Passes.

Senior SmartLink Cardholders may purchase the following products online: 1-, 5-, 10-, 20-, and 40-trip packages as well as 1, 7, or 30-day Unlimited Passes.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

The 30-day Unlimited Pass is good for 30 days of unlimited trips, expiring on the 30th day of use. A 30-day pass is more cost effective than multiple trips products if you make more than 42 trips per month.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

Unlimited passes are available on the web in 7 or 30-day denomination and at the PATH vending machines in 1, 7, and 30-day denominations. Unlimited passes are non-transferable but can be used to ride the PATH system as much as desired during the time period the pass is valid. However, they can only be used once at the same PATH station within an 18-minute period. If you have both an Unlimited Pass and trips on your SmartLinkSM Card, your Unlimited Pass will be used first; if the same card is tapped again at any turnstile in the same PATH station within 18 minutes, your pass cannot be used and a trip will be deducted instead.

The day the Unlimited Pass is first used to enter a PATH turnstile counts as the first day of use, or day #1. If you have a 1-day pass, you can anticipate that the pass will expire the next time it is - 12:00 AM, or midnight, after it is first used - not necessarily 24 hours from the pass' first use. Please keep this in mind when purchasing a 1-day Unlimited Pass.

The expiration date on any given pass indicates it will expire at the end of the day noted. For example, if your card has an Unlimited Pass with an expiration date of 08/04 or 08/04/16, it expires at the end of the day on August 4th.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

Yes, both trips and passes can be stored on your Card, but a pass will take priority over trips. We recommend that you use up your trips before adding a pass to your card.

As part of the transition to the new TAPP fare payment system, starting on Monday, March 30, 2026, you will not be able to purchase 1-, 10-, 20-, or 40-trip products on SmartLink unless you are a Reduced Fare customer. As of that date, you can only purchase 1-, 7-, and 30-Day Unlimited Passes with SmartLink. Customers can instead purchase these trip products on the new TAPP Card; learn more at tappandride.com.

As passes are meant for one person, they can only be used once at the same PATH station within an 18-minute period. If you have both an unlimited pass and trips on your SmartLinkSM Card, your unlimited pass will be used first; if the same card is tapped again at any turnstile in the same PATH station within 18 minutes, your pass cannot be used and a trip will be deducted instead.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

Automatic Replenishment is an optional automatic trip/pass replenishment service offered for your PATH SmartLinkSM Card. You must have a PATH SmartLinkSM Card Web Account to take advantage of the service.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

First, you must create a Web account

When setting up Automatic Replenishment, you will first select the "product" (20 or 40 trips, or 30-day Unlimited Pass) you want automatically loaded onto your PATH SmartLinkSM Card.

Next, you must provide information from a valid credit/debit card or select one of your stored payment options within your PATH SmartLinkSM Card Web Account, to be charged every time your SmartLinkSM Card is "automatically replenished" with trips or a pass.

Every time your card's balance reaches five (5) remaining trips or five (5) remaining days your card will be replenished with the product selected at setup. The credit/debit card that you entered or selected for the service will immediately be charged the appropriate amount each time an automatic replenishment occurs.

Please Note: It is highly recommended that you have no more than a single "product" remaining on your card before establishing the Automatic Replenishment service. Automatic replenishment products will take precedence over any other products on your card, regardless of when they were purchased. In other words, the system will use automatically replenished products first and will continue to reload the product until the replenishment feature is cancelled on the website. Once the replenishment stops, you will then be able to use any products still remaining on the card.

Please note, starting on Monday, March 30, 2026, you will not be able to purchase 1-, 2-, 4-, 10-, 20-, or 40-trip products on SmartLink unless you are a Reduced Fare customer or enrolled in electronic pre-paid transit benefits that are automatically loaded onto your SmartLink card each month through a participating transit benefit provider. For all other customers, PATH will cancel all automatic replenishments for trip-based products on SmartLink by Monday, March 30, 2026.

Customers can instead purchase these trip products on the new TAPP Card; learn more at tappandride.com.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

The trips that are loaded* on to a SmartLinkSM Card do not expire and can be used as long as your card is valid for use and kept in good working condition.

*Please note:

a) Trip products will no longer be available for sale on SmartLink as of March 30, 2026. Only pass products will be available for purchase.

b)The SmartLink Card can only hold a maximum of six products (three different products and two of each type). Any products above this threshold will not load onto a SmartLink Card until there is room and will remain in a pending status for up to 60 days. If these pending products are not loaded onto the card within 60 days, the products will no longer be available on the card.

c) Products purchased online will remain in a pending status for 60 days until the card is tapped in a station and loaded onto the SmartLink Card. Products will automatically be loaded when tapped at a Ticket Vending Machine or on a turnstile when used for entry into the PATH system. If these pending products are not loaded onto the card within 60 days, the products will no longer be available on the card.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

When an automatic replenishment is initially setup on your SmartLink Card, there is an authorization charge to ensure the credit/debit card you provided is valid for the amount specified. An authorization charge will occur again after a suspended automatic replenishment becomes active, or if the product being replenished is changed (example: 20 trips to 40 trips).

After the authorization charge is accepted, the product becomes available to load onto your SmartLink Card. The actual charge for the product will occur when your SmartLink Card is tapped in a PATH Station and the product officially loads onto your SmartLink Card. When the product reaches 5 trips/days, you will receive another product and your debit/credit card will be charged again.

Your bank/credit account will initially show two pending charges when an automatic replenishment is setup, reinstated, or modified. However, the first charge relating to the automatic replenishment setup, reinstatement, or modification will be dropped from your account in an average of 5 to 7 business days, depending on your bank or credit institution. When you receive your bank statement, the authorization charge will not be recorded as it is not an actual charge.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

The automatic replenishment feature will load products when the card balance reaches 5 days or 5 trips from the product type selected for replenishment.

For example: If you had a 40-Trip product being automatically replenished and switched it to a 20-Trip product, the 20-trip product will automatically load even if you had trips left over from the previous 40-Trip replenishment. The 20-Trip replenishment will continue to reload until the replenishment feature is suspended or cancelled. The 40-Trip product would then be used once the latest 20-Trip replenishment was used in full.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

Unfortunately, at this time the automatic replenishment feature is not available for commuter benefit users on SmartLink. However, on TAPP, PATH's new fare payment system, automatic replenishment is available for prepaid transit/commuter benefit debit/credit cards. Please visit TAPPandRide.com if you are interested in setting up automatic replenishment using a prepaid transit/commuter benefit debit/credit card.

Please note: PATH is planning to phase out SmartLink in the fall of 2026 as part of the full transition to TAPP, our new seamless fare payment system.

This notice means that your automatic replenishment feature was cancelled. In order to complete the removal of the automatic replenishment feature, the SmartLink Card must be tapped on a target/sensor at a PATH Ticket Vending Machine in any PATH Station. Once this is done, you may setup automatic replenishment again or purchase a one-time replenishment.

If the SmartLink Card was not tapped at a PATH Station within 60 days of the automatic replenishment cancellation, the removal command expired and the cancellation was never finalized. Please contact the SmartLink Center at 1-800-234-PATH, option 1, and they can reinstate the removal command.
