Background
Off-road vehicle use dates back to the 1900s, when French military engineer, Kégresse, invented what is now considered the first true off-road vehicle.[1] Recreational use of off-highway vehicles (OHVs) did not become widespread until the 1950s, when motorcycles became popular and the desire to ride motorcycles off paved roads surged.[2] In the 1970s, OHV use became even more popularized through the onset of dirt bike and motocross racing,[2] but unmanaged and unrestricted OHV use began raising environmental concerns[3].
In 2005, the Forest Service published finalized Travel Management Rule, which restricts where OHV recreation can take place on Forest Service lands.[3]
