ATV Rules
Alcohol and Drugs You cannot operate an ATV while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Animals It is against the law to run down, harass, chase or annoy any game or domestic animal or bird while operating an ATV. Crossing Highways You may cross a highway 100 feet away from intersections, at a 90 degree angle, and after making a complete stop. You must yield right-of-way to all other trafc. Crossing Railroad Tracks You may cross railroad tracks only at established crossings. Fire Restrictions Make sure you check current re restrictions. Areas may restrict riding to roads only or close the entire area to ATV use during re season. Use care with campres. During re season campres may be restricted to campgrounds only or even banned all together. Never leave a re unattended. Most areas require that passenger vehicles carry a shovel and re extinguisher or water. Dangerous Operation You must operate your ATV safely at all times. You cannot ride in a way that endangers other people or property. Enforcement Most OHV riding areas employ law enforcement ofcers to patrol areas. State police, sheriff deputies, USFS and BLM rangers have authority to issue citations and make arrests. Citations may be issued to parents of children under 18 years of age. Make sure you have a fun trip and obey the rules. Environment You are not to expose the underlying soil or vegetation, or injure, damage or destroy trees or growing crops. Firearms and Bows You cannot operate an ATV with a loaded rearm in your possession. The same applies to a bow and arrow, unless all arrows are in a quiver. Hunting You may not hunt from an ATV. You may use the ATV for transportation but you must stay on trails, keep all rearms unloaded, and when shooting game, be completely off of the ATV. Out-of-State ATVs Permits are available from OPRD for a visitor from a state that does not have an ATV registration law. The permit is $10.

ATV FUNDING
The ATV sticker you purchase for your ATV is used to help provide you with areas to ride. Funding comes solely from ATV users and unrefunded fuel taxes from ATV users.
A4MPTR
SEASON: All year.
TYPES OF PROJECTS
Development: New trail construction, bridges, trail signs, restrooms, shower facilities (Siltcoos campground ODNRA) and many campgrounds and staging areas such as Browns Camp, Bull Run (ODNRA), and Mt. Baber were funded with ATV dollars. Law Enforcement: Ofcers are funded to help ensure that your riding trip is safe and enjoyable. Not only do they make sure that riders play by the rules, but they help deter illegal activities in OHV areas, such as theft, vandalism and drug activity. Most of the ofcers you see can provide you with up-to-date area information or a map. First Aid Services: ATV dollars help provide resources to assist in remote rescues. On the dunes, where ambulances cannot reach, special sand rails have been purchased to help retrieve patients. In other areas, funds are used for trail patrols during busy times. Acquisition: Land can be purchased or leased for ATV riding development. For example, 6200 acres was purchased in Morrow County in 2003. Already 100-plus miles of newly developed trails and a new camping/ staging area are available for visitors. Operation and Maintenance: Many riding areas need some kind of maintenance. Trails need to be cleared after winter storms. ATV dollars have paid for OHV trail maintenance including Tillamook State Forest and the Millican Valley. Some areas need trail dozers and excavators to remove whoops, reconstruct water bars, and groom trails, which makes the trail more fun to ride and helps protect the environment. Safety and Education: ATV funds help teach people to ride safely and properly. Grant dollars help pay for children under the age of 16 to receive motorcycle or ATV training at a reduced cost. The development of the safety training center in Tillamook is also an example of an ATV grant project.
