Digital marketplace YourPassNow recognized for partnering with the National Park Service to fulfill surge in Senior Pass demand

NIC Inc.’s (Nasdaq: EGOV) digital marketplace, YourPassNow, was honored with a Beacon Award during the annual Partners Outdoors conference last week in Washington, DC. Presented to federal employees and partners for outstanding service to the recreation community, YourPassNow was recognized with a Beacon Award for its role in partnering with the National Park Service (NPS) to fulfill a surge in senior pass demand.

In 2017, the NPS was faced with a rapid increase in the number of requests for the America the Beautiful – the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass. To help fulfill these requests, the NPS partnered with NIC to offer senior passes through YourPassNow, a digital marketplace that makes it easy and convenient for visitors to purchase passes and permits to access public lands online. As a result, in just 36 days, more than 635k passes were purchased, helping the NPS reduce their backlog and ensure seniors received their passes in a timely fashion.

“It was absolutely NIC’s pleasure to help the National Park Service fulfill the rapid demand for senior passes last year,” said Angela Fultz Nordstrom, NIC Vice President. “By offering digital access to America’s public lands, NIC is delivering on our commitment to make citizen interactions with government more efficient and convenient.”

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 a wallet for immediate and future use. Passes and permits are also emailed for those that want to print their pass or permit.

The following public lands currently provide 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.
