- Enhanced security features, centralized balance and account management
- Fund as ACH Debit or Trust Account
- Self-service customer experience
- No manual application forms submitted to CAPS Service Center
- Intuitive and interactive mailing reports

- If funding a permit through cash, check, or money order at a RSS you no longer have to go to the assigned Post Office, you can go to any Post Office.
Now you can electronically fund permits through:
- Electronic Funds Transfer
