加州图书馆可借州立公园免费通行证:凭图书证借用,200多家州立公园免车辆日间费

加州州立公园局的「加州州立图书馆公园通行证」计划让居民像借书一样借公园通行证:凭公共图书馆图书证,即可在本地图书馆借到一张免费车辆日间通行证,在200多家参与的州立公园免车辆入园费。
通行证由州立公园局与第一伴侣办公室、加州州立图书馆合作提供,适用于一辆载客九人及以下的乘用车或一辆可上高速公路的摩托车。全州各地图书馆网点(包括流动图书馆)都备有通行证供借用,借期天数按各馆规定执行;没有图书证的居民可到本地图书馆免费办理,图书证与通行证都不收费。
使用边界要先看清:通行证不适用于由联邦、地方政府、私营机构或特许经营商运营的州立公园单位,也不覆盖按人收取的入园或导览费(如博物馆参观)、船只使用、露营、团体使用、特别活动与额外车辆等费用。出发前应在州立公园局官网核对目标公园是否在参与名单内。
同属加州「Outdoors for All」框架的免费安排还包括:四年级学生家庭的免费四年级通行证,以及面向领取CalWORKs家庭、SSI领取者与符合收入条件的62岁以上居民等的免费Golden Bear年票。州立公园局提醒,出行前先了解公园情况、穿着合适衣物、带足食物与水,按自身体力量力而行。

California Libraries Lend Free State Park Passes: Check One Out With a Library Card for Free Vehicle Day Use at 200-Plus State Parks
California State Parks' State Library Parks Pass program lets residents check out a park pass the way they borrow a book: with a public library card, patrons can borrow a free vehicle day-use pass that waives the vehicle entry fee at more than 200 participating state park units.
The pass is provided by State Parks in partnership with the Office of the First Partner and the California State Library. It covers one passenger vehicle with capacity of nine people or less, or one highway-licensed motorcycle. Every library location, including mobile libraries, receives passes for checkout, with the loan period set by the local library. Residents without a library card can get one at their local library; both the card and the pass are free.
The limits are worth knowing before a trip. The pass is not honored at state park units operated by federal or local government agencies, private agencies or concessionaires, and it does not cover per-person entry or tour fees such as museums, boat use, camping, group use, special events or extra vehicle fees. Visitors should confirm on the State Parks website that their destination is on the participating list.
Other free options under California's Outdoors for All umbrella include the free Fourth Grade Pass for fourth graders and their families, and the free Golden Bear Pass for CalWORKs families, SSI recipients and income-eligible residents age 62 and older, among others. State Parks advises visitors to learn about the park before going, dress appropriately, bring enough food and water, and stay within their comfort level.
