Why are transaction and dealer fees added to the price of the Discover Pass?

When you purchase the Discover Pass online, by phone or in-person at retailers throughout the state, you pay transaction and dealer fees in addition to the base price of $30 for the annual pass and $10 for the one-day pass.

The base price generates money for operating and maintaining state recreation lands and facilities but does not cover the cost of operating the system used to sell the Discover Pass throughout the state. Transaction and dealer fees cover costs such as improving, operating and maintaining the online ordering system, credit card transaction fees and staff training.
