Yes, ATVMB has a lot of information and suggestions to offer regarding setting up an ATV management system. We have experience with what works in a community and what does not work. Please contact us through out website, www.atvmb.ca if you would like to discuss this with us.

Complete instructions for forming a club are available through the Membership page of the ATVMB website, www.atvmb.ca. If additional information is required, please contact the Association Office at info@atvmb.ca

ATVMB has partnered with Safety Services Manitoba for ATV safety training. Please visit their website for more information.

It is an annual provincial fee paid when you register or renew a registered off-road vehicle (ORV) in Manitoba. The fee is collected by Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) on behalf of the Province of Manitoba.

The fee provides dedicated funding for Manitoba’s off-road vehicle program. It supports safer, more sustainable riding by helping fund:

• Public ORV trail maintenance and repairs
• Trail development, signage, and related infrastructure
• Rider safety education and training
• Emergency trail repairs
• Restoration of public lands and trails affected by unauthorized or damaging ORV use
• Grants that support safe, responsible ORV trail use

The fee applies to registered ORVs, including ATVs, side-by-sides, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles. Under Manitoba law, an ORV is a wheeled or tracked motorized vehicle designed or adapted to travel cross-country on natural terrain.

The $25 fee is collected at the time of registration or renewal through MPI or an Autopac agent. It is separate from registration and insurance costs.

The fee applies to ORVs that are required to be registered. Vehicles exempt from registration are also exempt from the fee. MPI lists examples of registration-exempt vehicles, including ORVs operated exclusively on the owner’s occupied property and certain vehicles used for commercial fishing or trapping.

Revenue from the fee is dedicated to ORV-related activities—not general provincial operations.

More than half of the funds collected are directed to the Province of Manitoba’s Off-Road Vehicle Land and Trail Rehabilitation Grant Program. Through this program, grants are available to eligible municipalities, Indigenous communities, and non-profit organizations to restore and repair trails and public lands affected by ORV traffic.

The remaining funding supports trail development and maintenance, rider safety education and training, and organizations and local clubs that help build, maintain, sign, and steward Manitoba’s ORV trail network.

ATV Manitoba directs a significant portion of the funding it receives to affiliated clubs, where volunteers help build and maintain trails, install signage, and provide ongoing trail stewardship. Funding also supports safety training and education, partnerships, outreach, and the work required to strengthen Manitoba’s ATV trail network.

The fee helps turn rider contributions into better places to ride: clearer routes, maintained trails, safety resources, and healthier public lands.

Just as importantly, it helps protect the landscapes we ride today so future generations can experience the same freedom to explore Manitoba’s trails. Responsible trail investment now helps keep these places open, safe, and enjoyable for years to come.
