Off-Road Vehicle Regulations
Off road vehicles (ORVs) including quads, argos, dirt bikes (but not, for the purpose of this regulation, snow machines), have the potential to damage vulnerable habitat such as the alpine and wetlands. Yukon is one of the last jurisdictions in Canada to regulate off-road-vehicles (ORVs). The Yukon has been trying to address these issues since the 1980s. In 2015 and 2019, the Government of Yukon engaged Yukoners on the topic of regulation and proposed ORV Management Areas (ORVMAs) in 2021, they released their ORV Management Areas Regulation. YCS participated in all consultations and released a joint news conference about the new regulations along with Trails Only Yukon Association (TOYA).
For how you can reduce your ORV impact on the environment, see more resources in the Education/Outreach page.
