Game and Parks' mobile permitting system displays owned
permits on mobile devices, and allows citizens to purchase
fishing and some hunting permits using their mobile devices.
The new mobile permit replaces the need to possess or carry
a paper copy of your permit. After test user groups, mobile
permits were made available to the public in April. In 2014,
4,900 permits and stamps were sold, generating $133,273.
Mobile permits were purchased by people ages 11 to
84, and most users are between the ages of 33 and 43.
An application also was developed to give
conservation officers the ability to look up
permits on mobile devices. While the permit
holder still has the responsibility to display
their permits, this innovative enhancement has
helped to streamline and expedite a number
of field related issues and problems. Additional
functionality will be added to the mobile
permits in the future.
