NYTRO OHV NewsNew York Trail Riders Organ i zatio n , Inc. Volume 14, Issue 7 July 2006 NYS ATV/OHM Advocacy News On June 11, 2006, the ATV Trail Fund was repealed by language contained in the 2006-2007 State Budget. DMV ATV registration fee reverts back to $10/year. [http:// www.nysorva.org/legislation/ ATVFundRepealer.htm] The now-repealed funding Law was passed in the 2005-2006 State Budget. The Budget Law included a promise to create the necessary Program Law in a subsequent Act by the end of 2005. However, no Program Law has been passed to date. A state-level Trail Program would have utilized the former funding source to promote trail development and management, and underwrite safety programs across New York. Continued resistance by influential anti-ATV organizations and politicians has to-date overridden state-level advocacy efforts of the riding community, and therefore no ATV Program Law has been passed despite the facts, merits, clear need, promises made, and multiple opportunities to resolve the matter over the years. The Regular Legislative Session for 2006 ended on June 22. Off- Session legislative efforts by state-level NYSORVA are ongoing, but cannot be effective without the active participation of riders and groups at the local level. Lewis County, with its recent establishment of a County- supported ATV Trail Program— the first of its kind in the State [see Lewis County’s Chamber site for more info at www.lewiscountychamber.org/ atv.php], has shown us what can be accomplished locally when conditions are just right. However, the problem persists that without state-level pro-ATV legislation and policymaking, rider groups and well-meaning local governments in other parts of the state will continue to have their hands tied without wide availability of tools such as funding, landowner insurance, and technical support necessary to create and sustainablymanage legal and safe ATV and OHM trails across our state. Also, anti-ATV legislation and policymaking remains a constant threat to the pursuit of satisfactory riding opportunities, (Continued on page 9) Newsletter Article Submissions: nytroatvny@aol.com Check us out on the web at http://www.nytroatv.org Chapter Information NYTRO of Western NY 676 Madison Ave, Angola, NY 14006 (716) 549-6118 - rb757@aol.com Co-Presidents – Dale & Julie Mackey Serving Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Wyoming, Genesee, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties NYTRO of the Southern Tier 1111 Carrie Ave, Endicott NY 13760 (607) 786-0676 - director@nytrostier.org Website: www.nytrostier.org President – Gary Burns Serving Broome, Chemung, Tioga, Stueben, Tompkins, Schuyler, Seneca and parts of Onondaga and surrounding Counties NYTRO of Central NY P.O.
