County ORV Ordinance
UPDATE
June 15, 2009
Otsego County
(Gaylord) has now passed the ORV Ordinance. It will become effective
on July 24, 2009. For more information and to see which roads are
open please visit: http://www.otsegocountymi.gov/index.php?catid=29&newsid=15
The Michigan House of Representatives
has passed a bill ( HB 4323 ) which will allow ORV riding on the shoulders
of most roads in northern Michigan. The bill has been sent to the
Michigan Senate for it's approval. Once final approval has been granted
ORVs will be allowed to use the shoulders of most roads in northern
Michigan. This will improve the sport immensely. Just like snowmobiles
have done, this will be a great benefit to riders and the economy
of northern Michigan. Follow the progress of House
Bill 4323
UPDATE
August 1, 2008
HB
4323 has passed the Senate and has been signed by the Governor.
The individual counties are in the process of deciding which roads
will be approved to allow riding on the shoulders. Otsego county is
working on it, but has not set a date for final approval. As soon
as they do, it will be posted here. Hopefully they will complete their
work in time for some riding this fall.
Thank you
to everyone who participated in the passage of this bill. This will
definitely help improve the economy of all the counties in Northern
Michigan.
