Thanks for the explanation about the stickers and the explanation about how the money is used. I also appreciate your direct impact to Colorado's trail system. Thank you!
This was a fantastic video about a confusing subject and you've done a great job and service for the community that spends time off the beaten path in colorado. Not only did I learn about the specifics for registration and permit but more around the OHV designation for the trails versus roads within the state that is perhaps even more important to understand. Additionally you've done a great job with explaining how this works for Colorado rai it's so easy these days to brush-off programs as being overly generous with fee and tax revenue so it's great to have the firsthand information as to how the money works via the grant program. Great job and thank you, CORE and Stay the Trails for taking the time to present this information!
Thank you for the clarity on the bright-green sticker that looks like a fishing license. I was just about to post the question when it came up in the video. This sticker, or rather a do-it-yourself sticker, is what you receive when you buy the OHV permit online. I heard that you can take it to a CPW office and exchange it for the classic sticker presented at the beginning of the video. However, I tried that and they said they do not do that. Just keep the green permit with you in your vehicle. I received a regular sticker last year so that is what I was expecting. I guess because last year I filled out the form and mailed it in versus this year I did the renewal online. It would be nice if all methods produced the same consistent sticker.
I just received my out of state OHV permit for Tacoma in the mail. The website says something about placing the sticker to the right of front license plate, then shows a picture with on the left (driver side) of a Jeep. The instructions in the mailing say to put it inside window passenger side. Any advice? A short video showing proper display would be helpful.
I always put mine on the front bumper, but some people put them on the grill of a vehicle or even on the side of the front fender. Kinda depends on the vehicle, and I have seen them on the front windshield (the stickers). I usually avoid putting them on the windshield in case I get a bad pit and crack that needs a replacement since the stickers are good for a year. The most important part is you have a permit and you display it somewhere on/near the front of your vehicles.
Great info on a really unnecessarily confusing system.. but I'm still wondering why an unlicensed dirt bike would need to be registered rather than just buying the OHV permit. Do you have to register unlicensed OHV's and buy a permit for them? Would you technically be illegal if you had only the permit instead of registering it? It's like they designed the system to confuse and trick people!
For a street legal Colorado registered vehicle (like a Jeep Wrangler). Where can I put the permit sticker? Does it have to go on the bumper like you did, or can I put it in the corner of my windshield?
Good question that I didn't really cover in the video. On the windshield is perfectly acceptable. I have seen people put them on the grill or the side of the hood. I prefer not to put them on my paint, but that's personal preference. The only downside to windshield applications is that they are good for a year so if you have a windshield replaced you would have to peel the sticker and reattach it somehow.
Another question, are OHV trails (including full sized trails) marked by any signage to communicate to drivers that they’re turning onto a road (trail) that requires the permit?
Another good question. There are plans to streamline signage for the designated OHV Routes (full-size trails). Most are not signed yet, but there will be a small green sign in the future for OHV routes.
@@keeptrailsopen Good to know! I’ll keep my eye on the CoTrex app for now as I know they’re specifically marked there. It would be really cool if we were able to get these trails marked as requiring a permit on apps like OnX Offroad and TrailsOffroad as well! Just a thought/suggestion for the future.
@@BiO811HazarD TrailsOffroad lists the 'Permit Requirements' with a blue button under the Trail Information section. Take a look at Williams Pass, I wrote that guide, and the button links you to the CPW OHV website. We are still in a bit of a transition with the updated change in designation since the last decision because the updated MVUM maps are not yet done or released to reflect all the new conversions from roads to trails. When that is done, the blue button should be on ever guide that requires and OHV permit, although, many of the guides already are updated.
I'm not saying we disagree, and I have no comment on how other states run their DMV programs relative to OHVs. Just looking at Colorado, though, they don't have OHVs in the DMV program and don't charge license and registration fees like a passenger vehicle. And the only fees associated with OHV use is through CPW and the OHV sticker registration to ride/drive on public land road and trail systems.
You have a very calculated and special kind of arrongance in how you present this topic. You speak of these land's as being Colorado lands. Here is the correction, those lands are FEDERAL lands and belong to ALL of us. Your state law is made of spaghetti and was haphazardly enforced, with tons of misinformation from elected and law enforcement related officials for decades. If your state is going to fine someone, it has to be for a clear reason, but this wishy washy nonsense system you created is bad for everyone except lobbyists. You should be ashamed of yourself. There are MUCH better ways to accomplish what you are trying to do, and those ways would generate much more than the pittance that is currently being collected. SHAME!
So your anger is placed at the State of Colorado then? I did not speak of public land as being owned by Colorado or exclusive, I gave the information that is on the books in this state and has been since 91'. The FS and BLM use these funds exclusively in some areas to fund their dozer crews (click the link and look at the FS San Juan Grants) and road work. You should also go back and watch Chapter 20, Navigational Signage, as every Forest District (except 1) and every Field Office used grant money for signage to be used for navigation on the ground by all public land users. The 6 million in grant money from this state benefits all public users who enjoy public land within the state area, with no exclusivity. You were not told in the video you would get a ticket or that you had to buy the sticker, you were given the background information behind the program and the details that are usually confusing. How you make choices in the future is totally up to you. If there are better ways to accomplish this, then start the program. And if the law is shaky, then challenge it. Talking tough in comments is one thing, doing something is quite another.

What about Disabled Veterans? According to the Parks And Rec Website we get free hunting and fishing licenses, access to state parks for free with DV plates, and many other benefits. Will this carry over for this OHV sticker/ permit? I served my country and am Disabled. Why should I pay more to use the land I could have died for every damn day in Iraq and Afghanistan to include dangerous training at home and abroad? 🥸
John, I don't 100% know the answer to your question. There is nothing in the statute or on the CPW OHV page specific to military active, retired, or disabled. I will get clarification and provide an update.
@@keeptrailsopen Thanks Marcus. I called the Durango CPW and they told me to check with the NF/ BLM district in which an individual is going to travel since the NF/ BLM manages roads and trails. You know me, I’m all about keeping trails open through stewardship, etc. Keep up the great work. See you in Pagosa. 🥸
@@johnpalmieri I did get confirmation today, that there is no free OHV sticker for disabled veterans. If you think you want to bring that up, the best place to start would be the CPW board of directors. They are appointed by the governor and decide CPW policies.

For sure! Thanks for watching.

@@keeptrailsopen Awesome! Thanks for the additional info! Just finished the video and it was very informative and easy to digest.
just got my non-resident OHV and it says the sticker must be placed inside the vehicle on the lower right passenger front window so its visible.....:/
I'd just put it wherever you feel is a good place. The most important part you have covered, you bought the sticker.

I hate how they're having you title off-road vehicles when they can't be street legal in Colorado! Unlike Arizona and Utah where you can

No way you watched the 1-hour video in the 5 minutes since it was uploaded. Give it a once-through at least and then tell me it's worthless.
