"Summary": "<p>This program is a great model for increasing funding to Colorado public lands from the private sector. We need new business models like this to support public lands, whose funding may be decimated later this decade due to massive government debt and economic imbalances that will crate our economy. </p><p>It adds $29 to license plate renewals, unless people opt-out. While there is a 70% opt-out rate, the program in its first year generated $41 million, which supports Colorado Parks And Wildlife, avalanche forecasting and rescue groups. <br /></p><p>The 2021 legislation that created the program hoped to generate more revenue than the annual $80 parks pass, which delivered $23 million to Colorado Parks And Wildlife in 2020. <br /></p><p>Thus far the program is working better than expected. Visitation patterns have not yet been released for the first year. It may take a few years to determine the additional revenue against increased visitation and those associated costs. However, this program dramatically reduces the friction required to get a pass while adding revenue to the state’s public lands. </p><p><a href=\"https://coloradosun.com/2024/07/09/keep-colorado-wild-pass-sales-cpw/\" target=\"_blank\">https://coloradosun.com/2024/07/09/keep-colorado-wild-pass-sales-cpw/</a><br /></p>",
