Off-Highway Vehicle Decal Funds Put To Good Use

Arizona State Parks and the Off-Highway Vehicle Advisory Group (OHVAG) have been working diligently to disperse money collected from the off-highway vehicle “decal” sales. Since the sale of the decals began in January of 2009, State Parks has awarded over $1.2 million to twenty-five projects around the state through the Sticker Fund Project Selection Program. On September 16, 2011 an additional $396,010 was awarded to eight new projects, Download Sticker Fund Project Awards (PDF Document 64 KB PDF). The OHVAG reviews the project applications and selects projects that meet the eligibility criteria established in the OHV legislation (A.R.S. §28-1176) (PDF Document 66 KB PDF) and the priority recommendations of the 2010 State Trails Plan. They also match state funds with federal funds on selected projects to leverage their effectiveness.

What is an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV)?

An OHV can be just about any motor vehicle such as a pickup truck, sport utility vehicle (SUV), four-wheel drive vehicle, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), dirtbike, dune buggy, sand rail, and snowmobile. OHVs may be used to access a particular destination (camping) or be used as the essential part of the recreation experience (dirt biking). Download new OHV brochure (PDF Document 1.8 MB PDF)
