Prepare and submit a program report to the Governor, the Assembly Water, Parks, and

This Program Report is an overarching document that touches on all aspects of California’s
Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation program. This program facilitates the accommodation
of OHV recreation and related non-motorized recreation. It also provides support for
environmental stewardship, education, and law enforcement efforts associated with OHV
recreation. This effort has been significantly supported through the Budget Act of 2016,
signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on June 26, 2016, that repaid the outstanding
OHV Trust Fund loans totaling $112 million.
California’s OHMVR Program enters its 46 th year in 2017, with a program sunset date of
January 1, 2018.
