SmartLink will retire in 2026

After 19 years of service, PATH is planning to fully discontinue SmartLink in the Fall of 2026. Customers should use the remaining balance on their SmartLink Cards by Fall 2026. The exact date of when SmartLink will no longer be accepted will be announced at a later time.

As of May 4th, 2026, TAPP will have all full fare products that SmartLink previously offered. For more information, please visit TAPPandRide.com

All SmartLink Card sales and refills will end on May 31, 2026 for most customer groups*. You will no longer be able to purchase new SmartLink Cards or refill them with any fare product.

*This does not apply to reduced fare customers and customers receiving direct loads from a transit benefit provider. These customer groups will be migrated to TAPP this summer.
