For additional information visit our webpage: nps.gov/shen/proposed-fee-increase.htm You can comment via a special website or at public meetings to be held in several locations: Website for commenting: parkplanning.nps.gov/shen_2014_fee_changes Public meetings: All meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. Monday, December 15, 2014: at the Piedmont Virginia Community College Room 209 at 222 Main Street, Stanardsville, VA. Tuesday, December 16, 2014, at the Warren County Community Center, 538 Villa Avenue, Front Royal, VA. Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at the Waynesboro Public Library Room A at 600 Wayne Avenue, Waynesboro, VA. Thursday, December 18, 2014 at the BB&T Center for the Performing Arts at 1 East Main Street, Luray, VA. The fee for a 7-day pass for cars would go from $10 (winter), $15 (summer) to $25 year-round. The fee for motorcycles would go from $10 to $20, and the cost of a 7-day pass for a single person (on foot or a bicycle) would go from $8 to $12. Under the current proposal, the cost of an Annual Park Pass would increase from $30 to $50. The new fees would become effective May 1, 2015. Shenandoah’s current park entrance fees have been in place since 2006. Fees collected at the park are critical to the park’s operation. Eighty percent of fees collected stay in the park for visitor related projects and services. The other twenty percent are distributed to other national parks that do not collect fees.
