Metro is still accepting orders for commemorative SmarTrip cards for the Jan. 21, 2013 inauguration of President Barack Obama.

"Inauguration Day, January 21, 2013" and Obama's picture, along with "America Makes History Again" adorn the cards, which are $15.

That's only $1 more than a one-day paper pass, according to a news release from the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority.

The cards come pre-loaded with a one-day pass that provides unlimited Metrorail travel on the first day it is used. It can also be used as a "flash pass" for unlimited Metrobus transportation on Inauguration Day, the news release states.

You can order the commemorative cards online, but to ensure you get yours before the inauguration, you may want to go to one of the Metro sales offices. The Metro sales offices locations are listed here.

Metro has launched an inauguration webpage where customers can sign up for special email and text alerts leading up to the inauguration. Metro also has set up a special Twitter account.

According to the news release, on Inauguration Day:

• Metrorail will open at 4 a.m. and close at 2 a.m. the following day
• Metrorail will provide 17 consecutive hours of rush-hour service — from 4 a.m. until 9 p.m. Peak fares will be in effect during that time.
• Normal weekday parking rates will apply at Metrorail parking facilities. Parking fees will be charged as customers exit the garage and may be paid by SmarTrip or credit card.
• Metrobus will operate weekday rush hour service in the morning, followed by an early rush hour in the afternoon. Many routes will operate on detours due to inaugural events.
• MetroAccess will operate identical hours to Metrorail and Metrobus.
• MetroAccess customers are encouraged to plan extra time due to increased traffic throughout the service area.
