Revision to Rules & Regulations - Visitor Conduct & Fees and Charges for State Park Services and Commercial Activities on Department Lands.
Vermont Proposed Rule: 07P010
AGENCY: Natural Resources; Forests, Parks & Rec.
CONCISE SUMMARY: Increase day use fees from $2.50 per adult to $3.00 per adult. Increase group day use fee from $1.80 per person to $2.00 per person. Increase season vehicle pass fee from $75 to $80. Increase fee for 10-use Punch Pass from $18 to $20. Other minor housekeeping changes.
TYPE OF PERSONS AFFECTED: Adult day users; group day users; vehicle pass and punch card purchasers.
COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The fee increase is estimated to generate approximately $120,000 in park revenue.

No decline in attendance is expected.
