1. Accela Recreation and Resource Management
Generate More Revenue and Better Manage Your Natural Resources
Each year, billions of citizens visit our National Parks and Federal and State lands. Yet, most
agencies still haven’t found a way to leverage technology to improve the effectiveness of
limited staff in collecting entrance or usage fees and helping to manage their natural resources.
And the challenges are compounded today as citizens expect 24x7, mobile and online access to
your resources -- on their terms.

as register for permits and licenses. Citizens have the choice to pay for entrance passes and
recreation use onsite, online, on mobile, and with automated technology giving your agency
the ability to capture additional revenue without requiring significant upfront capital or
operational expenditure.
Accela’s cloud-based solution enables agencies of all sizes to streamline daily operations such
