US EditionFeds ask court to dismiss new lawsuit over cashless National Park Service sites
- A New York resident plaintiff was turned away in 2023 from the National Park Service site at Hyde Park for trying to pay $10 in cash.
- The plaintiff filed an amended complaint in March after a federal judge dismissed the initial case in February due to lack of standing to sue.
- The complaint highlights that 29 of over 400 National Park Service sites stopped accepting cash, which the Department of the Interior opposes, citing increased processing fees borne by both NPS and visitors.
- Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that the plaintiff did not demonstrate personal harm or lack of access to alternative payment options, emphasizing that a previous injury cannot justify seeking future relief of the nature requested in this case.
- The NPS argues cashless payments improve fee stewardship, reduce theft risk, and speed transactions, offering alternative payment methods and onsite help at cashless parks.
