YourPassNow offers visitors new digital access
to America’s public lands
Yosemite 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 public lands online.
“We are pleased to offer this opportunity for visitors to
purchase park passes at home or on their mobile devices,” stated
Yosemite National Park Superintendent Michael Reynolds. “This
exciting technology provides visitors with the option for buying
their park entrance passes in advance while on the road or from
home.”
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. Once purchased, passes and
permits can be downloaded or stored to an electronic wallet for
immediate and future use. They are also emailed for those that want
to print their pass or permit.
“It Is NIC’s sincere pleasure to partner with Yosemite to offer
visitors a new way to conveniently purchase park entrance passes,”
said Robert Knapp, NIC Chief Operating Officer. "By offering a
digital park pass, YourPassNow is helping enhance the visitor
experience at one of our nation’s most treasured outdoor
parks.”
Located in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and covering
almost 1,200 square miles, Yosemite was first protected in 1864. In
2017, Yosemite welcomed more than 4.3 million visitors.
Yosemite joins the following national parks and forest lands
currently providing electronic passes through YourPassNow: Acadia,
Everglades, Grand Canyon, Theodore Roosevelt, Sequoia and Kings
Canyon, and Yellowstone 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.
