Empire Pass: Get Out, With Your Library!
The Library will be purchasing four Empire Passes to loan out this spring and summer. The Empire Pass Card is a family-friendly alternative to the traditional window decal, and not assigned to a specific vehicle. The card can be used by parents, grandparents, caregivers and others.
The Empire Pass is your key to all-season enjoyment at New York State Parks. It provides unlimited day-use vehicle entry to most facilities operated by New York State Parks and the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation including forests, beaches, trails and more. The Empire Pass gives access to about 127 New York state parks.
Here’s how it works:
Using the Empire Pass
The Empire Pass is useable for all motor vehicles except those used in the business of transporting passengers for hire including public or private buses, shuttles, taxis, limousines or other livery vehicles. The Empire Pass will not be accepted if it has been altered in any way. The Empire Pass must be presented upon entry to the facility. Without the pass, you will be required to pay the vehicle entry fee. Lost or stolen passes will be reported to the New York State Parks and the person who checked out the pass will be charged a replacement fee.
Passes will be loaned on a first come, first serve basis and are not able to be put on hold. Look for our passes to available in May, just in time for some great spring weather!
