Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Ends Utility Vehicle Pilot Program

Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resource’s (DNR) pilot program that allowed utility vehicles to use ATV trails in five counties ended on September 30th. The results of the program must be reported to the legislature by January 1, 2010.  The five counties involved include Florence, Sawyer, Marinette, Lincoln, and Washburn.  Learn more:  wkowtv.com

Comment: The potential opening of more trails is important to the utility vehicle market.  The relative lack of trail access compared to ATVs is one reason some people point to as why utility vehicle sales may never surpass ATVs, although they have been stealing market share from ATVs over the years. – Marc Cesare
