Position on Illegal ATV Use on Private and State Lands
Problems
associated with illegal all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are widespread
in Vermont and getting worse. Because unauthorized activity is taking
place on private and state woodlands, and considerable resource
and property damage is resulting, the Legislature and state agencies
should:
Make registration mandatory for all ATVs
that are being used off of one's own property. This would be the
same requirement as is currently applied to snowmobile ownership
in Vermont. Registration identification markings on ATVs should
be visible.
Enforce the current written landowner
permission requirement for ATV use.
Continue existing policies prohibiting
recreational ATV use on state lands.

ATV position.
