Oregon State Parks Permit Costs Set To Double In January
(Portland, OR) -- Oregon residents have only a short window left to purchase discounted annual parking permits for state parks before prices rise in the new year. Beginning January 1st, permits will cost 60 dollars for residents and 75 dollars for out-of-state visitors, up from the current 30-dollar rate. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department says the increase is part of a broader effort to close a projected 14-million dollar funding gap tied to rising operating costs and declining lottery revenue.
