Impact of the OHMVR Law Enforcement Grants to Local Law
Enforcement Programs
Since 2008, $17 million in OHMVR law enforcement grant funds have been awarded to
local law enforcement agencies with OHV recreation in their jurisdictions. Grant recipients
are often located in rural areas with limited funding, personnel, and equipment needed to
assist OHV enthusiasts, protect cultural and natural resources, and prevent trespass on
private property. OHV grant funds help local agencies fill the gaps to offer quality services
to keep OHV enthusiasts informed and safe. These funds may also help local economies
since funds are often spent where they are allocated. For more information, go to
