OHV Safety Education

The Arizona Game and Fish Department's Off-highway vehicle safety education programs' primary goals are to promote the safe and responsible use of off-highway vehicles.  Thereby reducing accidents and injuries that may result from improper off-highway operation by the rider.  Our online OHV safety education course includes instruction on the basic skills required to safely ride and operate an OHV.  These include responsibilities of OHV riders to others and the environment, general information on preparing for the unexpected, additional education resources, laws, rules, and regulations for the safe, ethical and responsible operation and use of OHVs. 

Classroom Safety Education and outreach programs include the Department's Quail Kids, which is an interactive learning experience designed to teach young riders the importance of off-highway vehicle safety.  The course topics include protective riding equipment requirements, matching rider abilities to machine size, and ethical riding.
