PSA: ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway MotorcyclesOur last PSA regarding recreational vehicles deals with ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway Motorcycles. These vehicles are designed primarily for off-road use and, under Ohio law and local ordinance, are generally not permitted on public streets, sidewalks, parks, or other city property. Before operating any off-highway vehicle, residents are encouraged to review registration requirements, age and licensing restrictions, and where operation is legally allowed to help prevent violations, fines, and safety issues.📌Snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway Motorcycles: DefinitionsSnowmobileA self-propelled vehicle designed to travel primarily on snow or ice, steered by skis, runners, or tracks.All-Purpose Vehicle (APV / ATV)A self-propelled vehicle designed for cross-country travel on land or water, steered by wheels, tracks, or a combination of both. This includes vehicles commonly known as ATVs, mini-bikes, trail bikes, all-season vehicles, and air-cushion vehicles. APVs do not include utility vehicles (UTVs) or golf carts.Utility Vehicle (UTV)A self-propelled vehicle designed with a bed, principally for the purpose of transporting material or cargo in connection with construction, agricultural, forestry, grounds maintenance, lawn and garden, materials handling, or similar activities.Off-Highway MotorcycleEvery motorcycle, as defined in section 4511.01 of the Revised Code, that is designed to be operated primarily on lands other than a street or highway.Sources: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4501.01, https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4519.01📌Snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway Motorcycles: Usage & RegistrationGenerally speaking, to operate a snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or ATV in Ohio on any right-of-way or public land or water, the operator must hold a valid driver’s license, commercial license, motorcycle endorsement, probationary license, or an equivalent out-of-state license.Operators under 16 years old may only ride on private property owned or leased by a parent or guardian, unless accompanied by a licensed adult age 18 or older.

Failure to properly register can result in fines and suspension of registration privileges. You can register these vehicles in person at your deputy registrar license agency.By default, Snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway Motorcycles are not permitted on public roads or highways in Ohio. Their operation is only lawful if a local jurisdiction has formally adopted a resolution authorizing their use on roads and highways under its control; absent such action, operation remains prohibited.Girard City Ordinance 375.03 along with Ohio Revised Code Section 4519.40 prohibits the operation of Snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, and Off-Highway Motorcycles in the following circumstances: (1) On any street or highway except for emergency travel; (2) Upon any property owned or leased by the Municipality, including parks; (3) On any private property without the permission of the owner or other person having the right to possession of the property; (4) On any land or waters controlled by the State, except at those locations where a sign has been posted permitting such operation; (5) On tracks or right of way of any operating railroad; (6) While transporting any firearm, bow or other implement for hunting, that is not unloaded and securely encased; (7) For the purpose of chasing, pursuing, capturing or killing any animal or wild fowl; ( 8 ) During the time from sunset to sunrise, unless displaying lighted lights as required.Sources: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4519.44, Girard City Ordinance 375.03, https://bmv.ohio.gov/vr-firstissuance.aspx ...
