California State Park Access Pass Providing Free Park Access for Californians
May 28, 2008: The California State Parks Foundation strongly supports the California State Park Access program announced today by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz). The new program will bring over $200 million annually in new funding to support the state park system, while providing free day-use access to California state parks.
The California State Park Access Pass is a proposal to provide much-needed funding for the state park system, while offering Californians free day-use access to their state parks. It creates a new funding stream for California's state parks by instituting a $10 surcharge on vehicle license fees of all non-commercial vehicles and a subset of commercial vehicles in California. In exchange for paying the fee, Californians will be provided free day-use access to virtually all state parks, no day-use or parking fees required.
