Mission Statement
The mission of the Off-Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Program is to provide the public with greater opportunities for riding off-highway vehicles on public lands. This mission will be accomplished through a statewide coordination effort among public agencies in the acquisition, development and enhancement of off-highway vehicle recreation areas. In addition, it is part of the mission to develop programs that provide for education, conservation and enforcement of applicable regulations related to off-highway vehicle activities that will conserve and protect cultural and natural resources.
