A new website featuring information for off-highway vehicle users in New Mexico was revealed Nov. 7 by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.

RideNM.org features information for off-highway vehicle (OHV) users in a user-friendly format, according to a press release from New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.

The new website features easy-to-navigate drop-down menus, giving the public easy access to important information regarding OHV recreation in New Mexico. The site also includes an educational video that also shows off spectacular scenery from throughout the state while also discussing what it means to be an ethical rider. In addition, the site provides quick and easy links to the Department’s hands-on OHV youth safety classes, as well as online youth safety training providers, read the release.

The site’s laws and rules page includes a list of prohibited OHV uses, safety requirements for youth operators and passengers under 18 years of age and links to paved road ordinances and resolutions passed by city and county governments across the state. The Contacts page provides quick links to get in touch with the Department’s OHV Program staff as well as partner organizations, noted the release.

The site will soon feature a downloadable map available for online or offline use. This map will allow OHV operators to access trail information as well as paved-road-use ordinances.
