This spring, the Supervisors of San Bernardino County voted to pass an ordinance to regulate the growing problem of illegal and abusive off-road vehicle (ORV) use on both private and public lands.
This spring, the Supervisors of San Bernardino County voted to pass an ordinance to regulate the growing problem of illegal and abusive off-road vehicle (ORV) use on both private and public lands. Measures such as this are vital to the protection of the fragile wild desert landscape in the face of increasing development, and the checkerboard of public and private lands in the county. The ordinance will address acceptable noise levels, limit large groups, and require riders to obtain written permission to ride on land other than their own. Residents can file complaints when riders become a nuisance, and fines will be levied to enforce the new law.
The final ordinance was the result of considerable work on the part of CWC and other members of the Alliance for Responsible Recreation (ARR), who attended stakeholder meetings with members of the off-road vehicle community, community representatives, and county officials. We will continue to monitor the situation in San Bernardino County to ensure that the new ordinance is enforced.
