NOVA-Education Education and Enforcement-Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities Program

Funding for education and law enforcement on backcountry trails and in off-road vehicle parks. Funding supports development and management of recreation opportunities including cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain bicycling, hunting, fishing, sightseeing, motorcycling, and all-terrain/four-wheel drive vehicle activities. A portion funds education and enforcement programs encouraging environmentally responsible outdoor use and minimizing visitor conflicts. Except for off-road vehicle facilities, activities must be accessed via non-highway roads (public roads not built/maintained with gasoline tax funding), typically found in state/national forests and parks. Typical projects include building/renovating/rerouting trails, maintaining trails and associated campgrounds/trailheads, operating off-road vehicle parks, and educating trail users.
