OHV Funds at Work

To stop the offenders in their tracks, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and the California Department of Parks and Recreation Off-Highway Vehicle Division have received OHV grant funds to conduct off-highway vehicle enforcement throughout Riverside County.

A Message from the Sheriff    

 

"When operating your off-road vehicle, drive or ride it safely. Follow the recommendations provided by the manufacturer, including, wearing a helmet and protective clothing. Always stay alert for other vehicles, take time to survey the course or road you'll be operating on, and be courteous to other riders. Finally, have fun and thanks for visiting us here in Riverside County"

 



 

      Introduction
 

Riverside County is the fourth largest county in California and is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. Combined with many months of sunshine and several hundred square miles of undeveloped land, it's no wonder why so many people choose to make Riverside County their home. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the terrain Riverside County has to offer for their outdoor activities such as riding Off-Highway Vehicles.

The huge influx of OHV use is taking its toll on the County's landscape. No doubt about it, riding OHV's is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors, but OHV's can have a damaging effect on private and public property. The need to educate the public and direct them to legal OHV riding areas has never been more important. While enforcement is often necessary, education is the key to safe, legal and responsible OHV recreation. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department encourages owners of OHV's to seek out those legal places to ride and enjoy what Riverside County has to offer.

 

      State of California
      Off-Highway Vehicle Education/Enforcement Grants

 

 

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has made OHV education and enforcement a priority. We have the responsibility to protect the rights of private landowners as well as the quality of life for residents who live nearby OHV riding locations. This responsibility also extends to publicly owned lands, some of which are wildlife habitat areas set apart to protect endangered plant and wildlife species.

With grants funded by the California State Parks Off-Highway Division, Riverside County Sheriff's Department personnel have implemented the R.O.V.E., (Riverside County Sheriff's Department Off-Highway Vehicle Enforcement) program. Sheriff's deputies assigned to the R.O.V.E. program will provide OHV education and enforcement on a regular basis throughout the peak riding season.

The R.O.V.E. program is in its third years and is an effective tool to better educate OHV riders while protecting the environment, the tranquility of residential communities, and the property interests of landowners. The men and women of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department appreciate your cooperation in helping us promote safe and legal recreational opportunities for everyone.

 

      R.O.V.E Team
 

The R.O.V.E. program is comprised of approximately 100 deputy sheriffs who have successfully completed a certified law enforcement ATV course. The goal of the R.O.V.E. program is to educate the public about the proper use of OHV equipment, land use, and enforce the OHV laws when applicable.

Although there are many nearby undeveloped areas that are convenient and accessible to ride your OHV's, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department recommends that you ride your OHV's only on approved OHV riding areas. Remember, in order to ride OHV's on any property, private or public, the OHV rider must have express written permission from the property owner in their possession in order to be in compliance.

 

      Posse Members
 

Mounted Posse members, who serve the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, assist R.O.V.E. deputies during R.O.V.E. deployments. The combined deployments of ATV and Mounted Posse riders greatly enhance the program's efforts to both educate and enforce the OHV laws.

 

Trespassing vs. Permission     

 

Riverside County Ordinance 10.12.010 states a person must have written permission from the property owner in their possession in order to ride their vehicles on the property they are on. The fine for the first offense is $100 with fines up to $500. Simply put, unless you have express written permission from the property owner to ride your OHV on the property, you are TRESPASSING.
