Riders

Every member has a vote at the club level, and the clubs ultimately determine the direction of the OFATV. In addition, the money you spend on your membership goes directly into the trails. Membership dollars maintain the trails you ride, and continue to increase riding opportunities every year. With each year the OFATV is growing the number of clubs, and increasing the kilometers of trails that are available to riders across the province. The more members we have, the faster we can grow.
