YourPassNow offers visitors digital access to
America’s public lands
Grand Canyon National Park has partnered with digital government
services provider NIC Inc. (Nasdaq: EGOV) to offer electronic
entrance passes to visitors through YourPassNow, a digital
marketplace that makes it easy and convenient for visitors to
purchase passes and permits to access public lands online.
“We are excited to offer Grand Canyon's visitors with a new
digital option to purchase their entrance passes online,”
said Christine Lehnertz, Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent.
“YourPassNow allows for visitors to pre-pay their
entry fee and begin their trip planning prior to arrival
to the park.”
YourPassNow provides an alternative to the traditional
paper-based, in-person purchase method while simultaneously
providing public lands with a tool to help manage the visitor
experience. Using a personal device, visitors can purchase passes
and permits from yourpassnow.com at no additional cost. Once
purchased, passes and permits can be downloaded or stored to a
wallet for immediate and future use. Passes and permits are also
emailed for those that want to print their pass or permit.
“NIC is pleased to partner with Grand Canyon National Park to
offer visitors another channel to purchase their entrance pass,”
said Sandi Miller, NIC Federal General Manager. “YourPassNow
provides a new level of digital access to visitors, allowing them
to conveniently plan ahead and arrive prepared when visiting the
natural wonder.”
With its unique combinations of geologic color and erosional
forms, the Grand Canyon is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles
wide, and a mile deep. Grand Canyon welcomes about 5.5 million
visitors each year.
Grand Canyon joins the following public lands currently
providing electronic passes and permits through YourPassNow:
Acadia, Everglades, Theodore Roosevelt, Sequoia and Kings Canyon,
Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks; Castillo de San Marcos
and Colorado National Monuments; Whiskeytown National Recreation
Area; Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area; Wayne National
Forest; and the Bureau of Land Management’s Lake Havasu Field
Office.
