FWP administers the OHV program with funds appropriated by the state legislature. The program has four components: the OHV Grant Program, enforcement of OHV laws, Safety Education, and Information/Ethics Education Program. The OHV Grant Program typically funds maintenance of existing OHV trails, signing, ethics education, noxious weed control adjacent to trails, enforcement, route mapping, etc. This program relies on partnerships between private clubs and public land managing agencies. The OHV Advisory Committee, comprised of OHV users and land managers, advises FWP on the expenditure of grant funds and trail issues.
An OHV is a self-propelled vehicle used on public lands, trails, easements, lakes, rivers or streams and generally includes off-highway motorcycles, ATVs (quadricycles), air cushion vehicles, amphibious vehicles, and dune buggies. 4X4 trucks licensed for road use and vessels registered as boats are not OHVs.
