Under the Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act, national parks keep 80% of all fees collected and use that money to fund critical projects that improve services and protect resources. For the first three years, 100% of revenue generated will stay locally at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.

Physical passes must be displayed from the inside rear view mirror or on the dashboard of your vehicle, making sure the face of the pass is visible from the outside.
