Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Fund - Large Scale Grants

Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Fund - Large Scale Grants is sponsored by Arizona State Parks. This fund offers large-scale grants for projects aimed at developing and maintaining trails in Arizona's off-road recreation areas. It supports trails, staging areas, signage, and educational programs.

Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Fund Grants in AZ | Arizona State Parks Off Highway Vehicle Fund Grants The Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Fund was created by the Arizona State Legislature to promote responsible OHV recreation and manage its impacts. The fund is financed primarily through the sale of the OHV Decal, which is required for all off-highway vehicles operating in the state, as well as a portion of state motor fuel taxes.

This user-funded program invests directly back into the OHV community by providing grants for trail maintenance, facility construction, and stewardship projects. It also plays a critical role in public safety by funding law enforcement patrols in popular recreation areas and supporting information and education programs that promote safe and ethical OHV use.

Available Funds: $4,000,000 Eligible Applicants: Federal, state, county, and local governments, and non-profit organizations. Eligible Projects: OHV law enforcement, trail construction/maintenance, trail facilities, and I&E (information & education). Heritage and OHV Fund Applications are scheduled to open on July 8!
