Stay safe on off-highway vehicles

Ride to the right and stay on designated trails, wear a helmet, watch your speed, and take a safety certification course. New this year: All occupants of Class 2 ATVs that are manufactured with a seatbelt must wear a seatbelt when they’re on public roadways or rights-of-way.
