NPS Fee Increase to $70?

They may have felt ineffectual but they certainly will be replaced with people who are totally incompetant or puppets of destruction.

The official would not disclose the revised rate structures being considered but said the goal is a more modest adjustment to fees that haven’t increased in a decade. A 10 percent fee increase for all parks with entrance charges is on the table, as is a $20 increase for the $80 annual and senior lifetime passes. The agency is also debating whether to increase tour buses’ flat-rate charge, he said, or to implement a per-passenger bus fee to increase revenue.

Commercial Tour Fees
Commercial sedan (up to six seats): $25 (plus $15 per person)
Commercial van (7-15 seats, regardless of occupancy): $125
Commercial mini bus (16-25 seats, regardless of occupancy): $200
Commercial motor coach (26 or more seats, regardless of occupancy): $300

The fee hike was meant for construction and "maintenance" projects that I oppose anyway.

The National Park Service on Thursday unveiled a new plan to hike entrance fees at national parks with more modest increases than the ones it proposed last fall.

The proposal calls for raising fees at many national parks by around $5 in the next year, with some seeing an additional increase in 2020. The new plan will apply to the 117 national parks that charge fees, not to the two-thirds of national parks that do not have entrance fees, the agency says.

The entrance fee for the Grand Canyon, the nation's most popular park that charges an entrance fee, will climb by $5 to $35 per vehicle starting June 1. An annual pass for the Grand Canyon will climb by $10 to $70, according to the park service numbers.
