Summary

Grant program in California that helps support projects related to off-highway vehicle recreation and safety. The purpose of the program is to promote responsible use of off-highway vehicles by improving trail systems, enhancing safety, restoring habitat impacts, and supporting education and law enforcement efforts.


The funding is typically made available to local governments, nonprofit organizations, park and recreation agencies, tribal governments, and other qualified entities that are involved in maintaining or improving off-highway vehicle areas and related resources. It is not structured for individual vehicle owners or private for-profit businesses seeking reimbursement for personal expenses.


Funding from this program can be used for a range of project types, including things like:

  • Construction and maintenance of trails and facilities

  • Safety signage, fencing, and barriers

  • Environmental mitigation and habitat restoration

  • Educational programs that encourage safe and responsible riding

  • Law enforcement support

  • Equipment or materials needed to support trails and recreation areas


Grant awards under this program can vary significantly depending on the size and scope of the proposal. Smaller planning or education projects might receive modest awards, while larger construction or restoration projects can receive substantial funding to support long-term improvements.


Projects are selected competitively based on how well they align with state OHV goals, community benefit, environmental stewardship, safety enhancements, and readiness to implement. The program encourages collaborative partnerships and projects that serve broad recreation audiences while protecting natural resources.
