Your OHV registration fees go directly back into the sport. Of the $20.50 collected from each registration, $13.50 is dedicated to the improvement of summer and winter OHV opportunities. $2 from each registration is used for safety and responsible riding education; $2 goes to the Division of Motor Vehicles to cover administrative costs, $1.50 goes to school trust lands, $1 goes to electronic transaction fees, and $.50 goes to fund search and rescue efforts.

- Wear Your Helmet: For riders and passengers under age 18, it's the law, but we advise everyone to wear a helmet. It can save your life. Properly worn, a helmet won't reduce vision or hearing, and helps cut out windblast. Gloves, abrasion resistant clothing, and over the ankle boots are also highly recommended
- Youth, 8-15 years of age, must take the Utah Know Before You Go! certification course before operating an OHV on public land.
This OHV course lets you get your Utah off-road vehicle safety education certificate online so that you can comply with Utah education law.

2012 RIDE ON! VIDEO CONTEST AWARD WINNERS NAMED,
STUDENTS ARE BEST TEACHERS OF OHV SAFETY AND STEWARDSHIP
Salt Lake City -- Future videographers and filmmakers were honored for their 90-second RideOn! videos, which encourage OHV safety and stewardship of School and Institutional Trust Lands.
This second annual RideOn! Video Contest was co-sponsored by the Larry H. Miller Group, Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands, and Utah State Parks and Recreation.
The contest challenged students to generate 90-second videos focusing on safety and land stewardship. Students competed in junior high and high school categories. All videos may be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/user/utahohvvideocontest
First place winners are:
High School: Colton Petersen, Chad Udy and Taylor Adcox from Granite Technical Institute in Salt Lake
Junior High/Middle School: Jessica Rhodes from South Cache 8-9 Center in Hyrum and Spring Creek Middle School in Providence
These students won $500, plus $500 for their teacher and $500 for their school.
The contest benefits all Utah schools, because interest generated from good management of SITLA land is distributed to every public school in the state. Local school community councils allocate the money to the school’s most critical needs, explained Kevin Carter, director of School and Institutional Trust Lands.
According to Carter, “Proper OHV use on trust lands helps to reduce the cost of maintenance on the lands. This ultimately puts additional money into Utah’s schools and everyone has a safer ride.”
Fred Hayes, director of Utah State Parks and Recreation, said safety is the agency’s priority, and reports nearly 50,000 young people have taken OHV safety classes over the years.
