Program Funding The OHMVR Program receives no direct support from the state’s General Fund; all funding comes from the OHV Trust Fund. Monies deposited into the OHV Trust Fund are generated by user fees associated with OHV recreation, including: •§ Fuel taxes from gasoline consumed during off-highway recreation on public lands. •§ OHV registration fees. •§ Entrance fees generated at the SVRAs. •§ Interest and miscellaneous income. The funding model for the OHMVR Program is based around users funding the program primarily through gas taxes and registration fees, rather than relying on SVRA entrance fees. Entrance fees collected at the SVRAs are kept at a reasonable level to promote OHV enthusiasts use of the managed recreation opportunities, and not create a barrier for lowincome visitors. Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund Receipts FY 2015/2016 $88,351.706.21 Grand Total SVRA Revenue $4,189,165.18 4.74% OHV Registration Fees $15,126,231.67 17.12% Loan Repayment $11,000,000.00 12.45% Fuel Taxes $57,147,434.72 64.88% Miscellaneous $888,874.64 1.01% NOTE: No funding comes from the State's General Fund 2017 Program Report 9
Fuel Taxes Fuel taxes represent approximately 65 percent of annual income to the OHV Trust Fund. Fuel tax transfers were once calculated based on statewide studies that estimated the total gallons of gasoline burned in the course of OHV recreation. Legislation passed in 2007 (SB 742) established that future transfers would be based on the percentage of fuel taxes transferred in 2007. In 2011, legislation was passed that reduced these transfers by $10 million annually. (Revenue and Taxation Code § 8352.6) The amount of fuel tax transferred to the OHV Trust Fund is directly proportionate to the amount of fuel purchased in California; the more gasoline that is purchased by Californians, the more gas tax revenue that is transferred to the OHV Trust Fund. According to the California Board of Equalization over the last few years, the amount of gasoline sold has steadily increased suggesting the amount of gasoline purchased in California is dependent on the price of gasoline and larger economic factors. Fiscal Year Gallons of Gasoline Sold 2012/2013 14,475,836,000 2013/2014 14,599,336,000 2014/2015 14,921,441,859 OHV Registration Fees Another source of income to the OHV Trust Fund is fees paid to register vehicles that are operated exclusively off-highway. This registration is commonly referred to as a “Green Sticker.” With the passage of SB 742 in 2007, OHV registration fees were doubled from $25 to $50 for a two-year registration. This 100 percent increase in registration fees was supported by OHV and environmental organizations. In 2009, the OHV registration fees were raised another $2 to bolster the portion of the fees directed to the CHP. (OHV registration fees transferred to the CHP have no restrictions related to uses associated with OHV recreation or enforcement.) OHV registration fees are currently $52 every two years. Of this amount, $33 is directed to the OHV Trust Fund, and the remainder is distributed to the CHP, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and to counties.
