The National Park Service is seeking public input on a proposal to triple the fee for timed-entry vehicle reservations for Acadia’s Cadillac Summit Road from May through October. The fee was $2 during the 18-day reservation trial period this past October. The reservation system is to be implemented on a permanent basis starting this spring. Under the NPS proposal, “the total fee for each vehicle reservation would be $6, with $4 allocated to NPS operational and capital costs and $2 to administrative costs. The period for public comment on the NPS proposal extends through Feb. 11.
