YourPassNow Partners

NIC Maryland implemented YourPassNow for the Maryland State Park Service in Spring 2020. The Park Service was looking for a way to manage visitors to the iconic Kilgore Falls area of Rocks State Park. YourPassNow allows the Park Service to manage visitors to the park by providing a reservation platform for advance parking spot reservations. Park rangers validate passes at the gate using our proprietary mobile application.

Other users of YourPassNow include the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the States of Arkansas, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Kentucky. This amazing platform works for Yellowstone National Park and can work for your smallest or biggest park as well.

Park visitors have noted how simple it is to use YourPassNow for their park pass purchase and over 97% of users were satisfied with the experience.
