The PARC Act would require the National Park Service to accept cash payments for entrance fees at all national park units that charge admission. Currently, many parks have shifted toward electronic payment methods like credit cards and mobile apps, which can exclude visitors without access to those payment options. This bill mandates that parks continue accepting physical currency alongside other payment methods. The legislation would affect all national parks nationwide and their visitors, particularly those who prefer cash or lack access to digital payment systems. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the bill text.
