SACRAMENTO, Calif. Yosemite National Park will not require day-use reservations to enter the popular park in March.
“Starting March 1, reservations will not be required to enter Yosemite,” park officials recently announced.
Day-use reservations – $2 via recreation.gov, in addition to normal park entrance fees – were again required in February, in part to manage and reduce crowds that come to the see the park’s “firefall” phenomenon in February.
In February, park officials announced that Zion National Park would receive a $33 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to replace its aging, 21-year-old fleet of shuttle buses with 26 electric shuttles and 27 charging stations. The move came just as new Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, was confirmed, and it promises to be one of many monumental efforts to electrify the 645,000-plus government vehicles, an aggressive benchmark set by President Biden to help get the country to net-zero emissions by 2050.
“The federal government owns an enormous fleet of vehicles, which we’re going to replace with clean electric vehicles made right here in America, by American workers,” said Biden in early 2021.
