Real public dataScoping for the wallet cards and the pass purchase · vendor system live October 1, 2026
Options
| Option | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor API | To confirm | Not documented publicly. The reservation site is a single-page application over ArcGIS; the contract terms on data access are the Division's to disclose. |
| Scheduled export | To confirm | A nightly reservation extract (CSV or JSON) to a State bucket would cover the wallet cards and the Division reports with a one-day lag. |
| Resident-confirmed link | Required either way | Accounts were migrated from Reserve America; the resident confirms the match between the vendor account and myAlaska once. |
| Pass purchase in the wallet | Outside the vendor system | Pass sales run on a DNR order form and at the PICs today, so a digital pass can be issued without touching the vendor contract. |
