Important Links
What would be the penalty / fine for those parking without a purchased pass? A volunteer group would have no authority to issue fines and collect. Would they just leave a note asking them to pay next time?
Not everybody who uses the parking lots are part of the ski community and would have no knowledge of a pass required.
Hi Troy… the answers to your questions are contained in the overview description at the link that Bob provided. Essentially, this is a voluntary payment program. The parking lot crews will primarily have an educational function.
Thanks to Nordiq for taking the positive step of putting together this proposal as a possible solution.
All members of our household are in favour of user fees in some form or other in this instance.
How would they know if you are there to ski or to hike? Is it for hikers too?
The proposal is for winter parking – the program ends when the trails stop being groomed – usually mid-April. So skiers and snowshoers.
When does it start? Where do you buy your pass from
It needs to be approved by Nixon, etc first…
Thanks all for the info
What would be the cost to enforce this and pay for the administration / technology required? That on top of the money needed for operations. I’m surprised people are so quick to offer to pay but won’t hold the government accountable for giving away millions to corporations…
Cindy, according to the details, there would be “volunteer patrol of parking lots” so no cost. Passes would be purchased online, so very little cost.
