YourPassNow offers visitors new digital access
to America’s public lands
Glacier 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 new convenience to our visitors,”
stated Glacier National Park Superintendent Jeff Mow. “This
technology will allow people to save some time at the entrance
station by purchasing a pass in advance.”
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.
“NIC is pleased to partner with the Glacier National Park to
offer visitors an easy and convenient way to purchase their
entrance passes in advance,” said Sandi Miller, NIC Federal General
Manager. "By offering a digital park pass, YourPassNow is helping
the ‘Crown of the Continent’ enhance the experience of its
visitors.”
Established in 1910, Glacier National Park is located in Montana
on the Canadian–U.S. border. Often referred to as core of the
“Crown of the Continent Ecosystem,” Glacier encompasses more than
1 million acres, and welcomes approximately three million
people each year.
Glacier joins the following public lands currently providing
electronic passes and permits through YourPassNow: Acadia,
Everglades, Grand Canyon, 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; the Bureau of Land Management’s Lake Havasu Field
Office; and the State of Arkansas’ historic Eureka Springs.
