Calling All Greater Bay Area Members: We Need Your Voice on Feb. 16 when CA State Parks Holds a Meeting on the Off-Highway Vehicle Access Project
ARRA encourages members in the Greater Bay Area to attend an upcoming meeting hosted by California State Parkshttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...n6InxXUG8B4zaIviCMxf1RBR278boPlMrcwDGggqZBqA$ on Feb. 16 in Pleasanton, CA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the launch of a new Access Program to find a new SVRA in Northern California. The meeting will be held in person, and the public can join anytime between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. There will be stations with topics of interest and time to discuss the project with State Parks staff. Attendees will learn about Senate Bill 155 and the Department's process for searching, selecting, and acquiring property; discuss OHV recreation opportunities and visitor needs; and discuss potential locations for OHV recreation opportunities, including partnerships, leases, and new properties.
We encourage Greater Bay area members to attend the meeting to support the new CA State Park OHV Access Program's effort to find and build a new SVRA in Northern California.
The meeting will take place on Feb. 16 from 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Pleasanton Marriott, 11950 Dublin Canyon Rd, Pleasanton, CA 94588
Project Background
In September 2021, Senate Bill 155 amended Public Resources Code Section 5090.42. This bill transferred funding from the General Fund to the Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trust Fund to explore the acquisition and development of properties and opportunities to expand OHV recreation in new and existing facilities. Also, this bill recommends prioritizing opportunities that can serve large urban areas such as the Bay Area and Central Valley and offer potential recreational opportunities for OHV recreation and motorized access to non-motorized recreation. This meeting is the second of several opportunities to be involved in this project, including virtual and in-person meetings. CSP will develop a preliminary report, feasibility study, and OHV Recreation Access Plan with recommendations and strategies to enhance existing OHV recreation areas or expand OHV recreation within the State through an acquisition, lease, land swap, or other available means. The project would also consider developing motorized access to non-motorized recreational opportunities.
