Your opportunity to make your voice heard.  I for one would love a simplified fee on my vehicle tabs in lieu of purchasing several different passes.

My comments were about hunting and fishing license should get a break on the cost.

The purpose of this survey isn't to make things simpler... it is to find a way to increase revenue. Either get more people to purchase or to get them to upsell on price for simplicity.

The fee based user pays system we are supposed to have is already broken because of the DP funds mostly going to parks
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Done....I am tired of the dashboard full of crap per state.  I want simple and willing to pay for it.  Special T is absolutely correct, but that ship has sailed, user fees are hear to stay.  as much as I hate it.

No!  It's not just that user fees are here to stay, but the DP estimates are way off from purchased and they are trying to increase revenue. We won't get "more" service going to a simpler pass, it will just cost more.

Done. I have not had to buy a Discover Pass or National Forest Pass yet but my days are probably numbered. I just got my free Lifetime National Parks Pass so I am good to go for those. I did drop a good chunk of change to Weyco this year though.  :(

I respectfully disagree.  I believe there is honest intent to make the entire process easier for users, not necessarily more expensive.  Do you have inside information?

It is just like the WDFW surveys, they ask the questions that will get the answers that they can use to say that the public strongly supports the WDFW's chosen position whatever that may be, (example splitting up the permit categories or increasing licenses and fees). We don't need inside information to see what the state has always done up to this point. IMHO
