Off-road vehicles are important to many people’s lifestyles in New Mexico, but a small number of reckless riders are creating safety problems, destroying our beautiful landscape, and overburdening law enforcement. Our state has a new law to address this situation, but more needs to be done. New Mexico Public Lands Action Network (NM PLAN) is a new coalition of New Mexicans from all parts of the state who use the state’s public lands, are working to promote responsible use of these lands and ensure that the state’s ORV-related laws are strongly and effectively enforced in a way that makes sense to all New Mexicans.

In 2005, the New Mexico state legislature passed a law that created off-highway vehicle safety requirements, updated ORV registration requirements and established a statewide safety advisory board for these motor vehicles. NM PLAN is currently engaging this board to take common sense steps that strengthen law enforcement and public education and ultimately keep our public lands safe and intact.
