Strategic Plan Workshops Set [updated 1-9-09]

The California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division wants to hear from you. Please join us for one of three statewide Strategic Plan Workshops to be held regarding the OHMVR Division's update of its Strategic Plan. The Plan will provide direction for the OHMVR program's investments and activities over the next five years. This Plan is targeted to address current and upcoming challenges; leverage opportunities for high-quality, sustainable off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation; and protect and preserve lands where OHV recreation occurs.

The workshops are designed to elicit feedback on the Plan's Vision, Guiding Principles, and Goals and Supporting Actions. Your participation will help refine the elements of the Strategic Plan and prioritize next steps and action planning.

Vision Statement

The California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division will:
  • Be the nationwide model and set the standard for administering and managing an off-highway motor vehicle recreation program at the state level.
  • Provide outstanding OHV opportunities to meet the changing trends and demographics associated with OHV recreation.
  • Improve the quality and quantity of motorized recreational opportunities to meet the changing and growing interests of OHV enthusiasts recreating on lands in California.
  • Aggresively pursue responsible care of California's natural and cultural resources.
  • Develop best-management maintenance and environmental practices for use in State Vehicular Recreation Areas and promote them in other areas.
  • Ensure grants are awarded to programs that support OHV opportunities, OHV education and safety, and restoration of areas damaged as a result of motorized recreation.
Mission Statement

The Mission of the OHMVR Division is to provide leadership statewide in the area of off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation; to acquire, develop, and operate state owned vehicular recreation areas (SVRAs), and to otherwise provide for a statewide system of managed OHV recreational opportunities through funding to other public agencies. To insure that quality recreational opportunities remain available for future generations by providing for education, conservation, and enforcement efforts that balance OHV recreation impact with programs that conserve and protect cultural and natural resources.
