Abstract: The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass program is a cooperative effort between five federal agencies: National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. A survey will be used to understand how passes are being used in recreational areas managed by the five partnering agencies. These passes are intended to provide ease of use and potential cost savings to the public, however there is no centralized tracking system available to determine where, when and how often the passes are used; and with that, there is no way to estimate the division of revenue between the agencies for the sale and use of the passes. The proposed survey will be used to gather information on use patterns from current pass holders to provide data that could be used to develop strategies for the equitable division of pass revenues between participating agencies.
