Description
The Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Fund, created by the Arizona State Legislature and administered by Arizona State Parks & Trails (ASPT), supports responsible OHV recreation and management of its impacts across Arizona. Grants fund OHV trail construction and maintenance, trail facilities, facility construction, stewardship, law enforcement, and information and education programs promoting safe and ethical use.
The fund invests recreation-related revenue back into the OHV community. It is financed primarily through resident and nonresident OHV decal sales and a portion of state motor fuel taxes. Alongside improvements to recreation infrastructure, the program supports public safety through law enforcement patrols in popular recreation areas and education that encourages responsible riding.
