Do I need a separate SmarTrip® card for the Transit Benefit and another one to pay for Parking at the Metro station?

No. You may use the same SmarTrip®card to pay for your fare and your parking. Metro provides some discounted rates to passengers who park at a Metro station and ride the bus or subway from that location.
