Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks launch
“YourPassNow” online park pass solution
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks have partnered with
digital government services provider NIC Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV) to
offer digital park passes to visitors through “YourPassNow.”
YourPassNow provides an option where visitors can now purchase
their park entrance pass online.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, which lie side-by-side
in the southern Sierra Nevada in Central California, serve as a
prime example of nature’s size, beauty, and diversity. Over 1.8
million visitors from across the U.S. and the world visit these
parks for the world’s largest trees (by volume), grand mountains,
rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, the highest point in
the lower 48 states, and more. Sequoia and Kings Canyon join
several other National Parks to launch YourPassNow, a digital
solution that provides an alternative to the traditional
paper-based purchase method.
Visitors can now use their personal computer or mobile device to
purchase an entrance pass online, at no additional cost. Once
purchased, the pass can be used immediately, stored on a mobile
device or printed for later use.
Brigid Jennings, Acting Revenue and Fee Program Manager said,
“We are super excited to be announcing this new pilot program
during National Park Week. This will be another tool to help
visitors in their planning before arriving at the parks.”
“NIC is pleased to add Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
to our digital park pass offering,” said Sandi Miller NIC Federal,
General Manger. These parks join a growing number of national parks
and forest lands delivering digital access to visitors.
