OHV TRAINING
Basics:
All riders* on public lands are required, regardless of age starting January 2014, to have a ATV Safety Education Card. This is done online. Anyone 15 years of age and under, as of January 2012, is also required to have Hands On training for OHV’s
If you have already recieved hands-on training via ASI or MSF and have completed the on-line safety training (above) have already met this requirement and can get a new, endorsed, ATV Safety Education Card at no cost now(see below)! Just send us a copy of the card provided by the hands-on instructor with an application and Oregon State Parks will do the rest.

Exemptions:
*Class IV ATV’s: If you are 16 years old or over you are only required to have a valid drivers’ license to operate a Class IV ATV in Oregon – just as it is with Class II jeeps and trucks. Youth 15 and under may operate a Class IV vehicle if they comply with the manufacturer’s age recommendation. These youth must pass the on-line safety course and receive hands-on training as well. If the vehicle has no manufacturer’s age recommendation then the operator must be 16 years old or over with a valid driver’s license
