*During the 2021/2022 season Value Cards were not recertified. The total number
sold is estimated based on the number of individual Value Cards scanned in the
parking structures during the entire 2021/2022 winter season.
Value cards in prior seasons we often used in conjunction with other passes, such
as the Blue pass, to utilize discount parking in the structures on days that the
parker’s other pass did not grant access. This year, discounted parking is included
with employee and business passes, reducing the need for multiple passes.
