Starting June 25, you will only be able to order passes online for the next month through the 25th of the current month. This change has been enacted in order to better reflect processing and shipping times necessary for you to receive your pass by the 1st of the month for which the pass is valid. For example, June 25th will be the last day you can order a July pass online. If you require a July pass after this date, then you will need to purchase one in-person at a retail outlet. You can purchase a pass through walk-in sales at a retail outlet through the 10th of the month for which the pass is valid. Click here for a list of retail outlet locations.. |
