OLATHE, Kan. -
YourPassNow was named the winner of a Bronze Stevie® Award in the App &
Mobile Website category for Business/Government in the 15th
Annual American Business Awards. More than 3,600 nominations from
organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were
submitted this year for consideration.
YourPassNow is a mobile optimized digital solution that makes entrance
passes for recreation on public lands available for purchase online.
Using a personal device, citizens can purchase entrance passes and
permits for public lands. YourPassNow has a built-in validation feature
for park rangers, which does not require Internet access. This allows
park staff to verify the validity of a pass from anywhere in a park
using a QR code scanning function.
"The Fandango of national parks - easy to use, and very clear," stated a
Stevie® Award judge. YourPassNow, developed in partnership with the
National Park Service, launched in early 2016 with three parks.
YourPassNow continues to grow through the National Park Service and has
expanded to include U.S. Forest Service lands. YourPassNow serves as a
critical step in collecting valuable revenue for our public lands, while
equally providing a convenience for the visitor.
"NIC is committed to developing unique applications for citizens to
connect with government online," stated Sandi Miller, General Manager,
NIC Federal. "We are excited to receive this award for YourPassNow,
which allows citizens access to our public lands at the click of a
button."
"Each year the judges find the quality and variety of the nominations to
be greater than the year before. The 2017 competition was intense and
every organization that has won should be proud," said Michael
Gallagher, President and Founder of the Stevie Awards. The American
Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program.
