Colorado’s Off-highway Vehicle Program CPW’s OHV Program is statutorily created in sections 33-14.5-101 through 33-14.5-113, Colorado Revised Statutes. The program is funded through the sale of OHV registrations and use permits.
The OHV Program provides registration and use permit services for all Colorado and out of state residents who wish to access designated OHV trails on Colorado's public lands.
Benefits of the OHV Registration Program
The Colorado OHV Registration Program user fees (over $4 million annually) fund trail maintenance, construction, trailheads, parking areas, support facilities, trail signs, maps, and education. It enables law enforcement personnel to identify and return stolen vehicles, encourages safe and responsible OHV use, and promotes respect for public lands.
