As you prepare for your winter recreation activities, be sure to buy and display your Sno-Park parking permit.

 

Oregon’s Sno-Park program helps provide snow removal at about 100 winter recreation parking areas (Sno-Parks) around the state. Sno-Parks are in most of Oregon’s mountain passes and in most ski, snowmobile, and snow play areas. A list of Sno-Parks is available at www.tripcheck.com under “Travel Center”.

 

If you park in a Sno-Park from Nov. 1 through April 30, you need a valid Sno-Park permit displayed in your vehicle near the lower left corner of the windshield. Parking in a Sno-Park without a permit may result in a fine.

 

There are three types of permits:

  • a $25 seasonal permit;
  • a   $9 three-day permit good for three consecutive days; and
  • a   $4 daily permit.

 

All DMV offices and many permit agents at winter resorts, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets sell these permits. Private agents can charge an additional service fee. A list of permit agents is available at www.tripcheck.com under “Travel Center.”

 

The seasonal permit is also available by mail from DMV. Send a written request with your return address, phone number and a check or money order to DMV, Vehicle Mail No. 1, 1905 Lana Avenue, Salem, Oregon 97314.

 

Sno-Park permits issued by California and Idaho are honored in Oregon and Oregon permits are honored in those states.
