The Ontario Federation of Trail Riders would like to thank the Ford Government and Minister Sarkaria for their leadership in removing red tape and supporting Ontario's trail systems. This legislation will not only help riders get to trails easier and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Ontario but it will benefit local businesses, tourism and keep families outdoors.
Ministry of Transportation
Gives municipalities the power to decide whether to allow off-road motorcycles to drive on or across local roads to access trail networks (Highway Traffic Act)
Off-road motorcycling (dirt biking) is a popular recreational activity that supports tourism and contributes to Ontario’s local economies. Currently these vehicles are not allowed to cross, ride on or along municipal roads. As a result, we are expanding the authority of municipalities so that they can create by-laws to allow the use of off-road motorcycles on local roads to support Ontario’s trail systems.
Thank you to all who wrote in their letters of support to the Ford Government.

President of Ontario Federation of Trail Riders
