How does the rule define Off Highway Vehicles? What classes of vehicles are subject to the rule?
A. The final rule defines an OHV as “any motor vehicle designed for or capable of cross-country travel on or immediately over land, water, sand, snow, ice, marsh, swampland, or other natural terrain.” Technological advances have enabled many classes of motor vehicles to travel off highways. The designation requirements in the final rule apply to all classes of motor vehicles (not just OHVs) except aircraft, watercraft, and over-snow vehicles. Snowmobiles will still be allowed to travel off of the designated system of routes.
