Give Staff an Extra 8 Hours a Day

How Pay by Plate Works

Pay by Plate links the transaction directly to the vehicle’s license plate at the time of purchase.

Yodel Pass

Visitor process:

  1. Visitors enter the park and park (no gate attendant required)
  2. Scan QR Code to purchase a daily pass - No app is required
  3. The visitor enters the license plate and pays.
    1. Apple / Google Pay is available to save time
    2. Annual passholders don’t need to do anything
    3. No need to display a physical receipt, validation is tied to the license plate.

Enforcement process:

Staff use their existing mobile device to scan license plates to verify payment. No additional hardware is required.

If license plate recognition (LPR) hardware is deployed, confirmation may also occur automatically at entry points or during patrol operations.

Unpaid plates can be tied to a violation record, and outstanding balances are tied to the license plate future purchases.

Pay by Plate reduces the time staff spend managing payment hardware, cash handling, and manual receipt checks. This allows park teams to focus on higher-value work such as visitor support, facility maintenance, safety, and park operations.
