Update: Metro has confirmed that it is working “closely” with the Presidential Inaugural Committee to design a sleeve for the cards.

Metro unveiled its design for the commemorative inauguration SmarTrip card today, and it’s notably devoid of any reference to the man who will be inaugurated. The transit agency said they tried to get permission to use a photo from the campaign, but never heard back.

WMATA released a commemorative card for President Barack Obama’s historic 2009 election that was so popular it wound up selling for $25 on eBay, more than double its $10 cost. Sandwiched between a grinning photograph were the words: Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States.

Ahead of the 2012 election, the transit agency released two possible designs: one declaring that Obama “makes history again,” while the other featured a grinning Mitt Romney and the tagline “a new future for America.”

But there’s not a trace of MAGA or a wisp of orange locks on this year’s design, which simply notes that it is the 58th presidential inauguration with a graphic of the White House atop a billowing American flag.

“Metro requested permission to use a photo, but received no response from the campaign,” the agency told DCist in a statement. “Due to the long lead time to produce the cards, the new pass commemorates the national celebration of the 58th Presidential Inauguration.”

The transit agency has not yet responded to a request for additional details, including why the president-elect’s name doesn’t appear without a photo and how many cards they plan to print.

George Bush also didn’t appear on the then-paper farecards, apparently because there wasn’t a “large public interest in” his inauguration. Bill Clinton’s signature was included on them for his 1993 inauguration.

The SmarTrips are now available online for $10, and they entitle cardholders to unlimited Metrorail or Metrobus trips on the day of inauguration.

“Our goal is to get as many commemorative cards into circulation as possible among our Inauguration Day guests so they can skip the lines and head right for the train or bus,” Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said in a release. “We encourage everyone coming to the National Mall to purchase theirs in advance.”

Officials are preparing for more than a million people to head to D.C.—more than doubling the population—for both the actual inauguration and a number of planned protests. Track work will be suspended for the month to help facilitate faster transit.
