Booklet clears up new OHV laws

People who are confused about the new OHV laws or need the dust abatement actions clarified or who just want to know where to ride OHVs can get information from a new booklet published by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Arizona State Parks Department .

The booklet contains all of the OHV management laws currently in effect in Arizona as well as a list of places to ride across the state and includes explanations about Arizona titling, registration and the OHV Decal, information about equipment and protective gear needed to ride as well as educational and training options and opportunities.

"This booklet has a little something for everyone, including information about wildlife and wildlife habitat protection, new dust laws and ordinances, land management agencies and tips about safe, ethical and responsible use that can help keep access to riding and hunting areas open are also in the new guide," said Jim Harken, the OHV Public Information Officer for the Game and Fish Department.

An updated "Places to Ride" section shows people the various riding opportunities available across the state, complete with a free map to help them pinpoint the use area location.

Booklets are available at many locations including National Forest Service offices, Bureau of Land Management offices, the Arizona State Land Department Office, State Parks offices and all Game and Fish Department Offices.

The booklet is also in downloadable PDF form on both the State Parks and Game and Fish Department Web sites at www.azstateparks.com/ohv and www.azgfd.gov/ohv.

Money for this project came from the new OHV Decal program that was part of the OHV management legislation passed in 2008.

The legislation went into effect Jan. 1, 2009.
