This didn't come up but hey no one asked
I found this on another broad, Roy did not talk about this on the radio show,
I do not feel it's a matter of an audit, it's out there plane as day where the
money is going many of us just don't like it.
OK how about an audit of the DEMO FEE PROGRAM, i can't find any info at all
on where the DEMO FEE's GO. Should the OHMVR support an audit of where
the $90 Parking fee money has gone?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OFF-ROAD ORGANIZATIONS ASK LEGISLATORS FOR AUDIT OF CALIFORNIA OHV PROGRAM. ORBA ASA SDORC Off-Road Business Association American Sand Association San Diego Off-Road Coalition Off-Road Business Association President, on Behalf of California Off-Road Recreation and Business Organizations, Asks California State Senators and Assemblymembers to Request Audit of The Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of State Parks and Recreation. SAN DIEGO, CA (May 7, 2004) – “Over $50 million dollars is being spent annually by the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) Division of the California State Parks and Recreation Department with negligible improvements or additions to Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation opportunities in California,” Roy Denner, President and CEO of the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), reported today to two state senators and four state assemblymembers who held a hearing in San Diego to take suggestions from the public on how to eliminate waste and make state government more accountable. Denner, also speaking on behalf of the American Sand Association and the San Diego Off-Road Coalition, went on to describe how the budget for the OHMVR Division has been increasing by millions of dollars each year while no new, sorely needed, OHV recreation areas have been established. He pointed out that, in the metropolitan San Diego area – considered by many to be the off-road recreation capital of the world - there is not a single off-road facility where a kid can legally ride his/her dirt bike after school. The funds to operate the OHMVR Division come from license fees and fuel taxes that off-roaders pay. According to Denner, “this may be the only self-funded program in the state.” Past Governors have “borrowed” money from this fund to use for other purposes. “According to a 1993 survey performed by the state, at that time there were over 55,000 off-highway vehicles in San Diego County alone and the economic impact of OHV recreation in California was estimated to be $3 billion dollars – that’s with a “B”’, Denner explained, “ but current studies underway suggest that the current figures are likely to be three times the figures quoted in the 1993 study. With the current fragile state of the California economy it is inconceivable that state legislators would support any effort to curtail this popular form of recreation in California.” Using the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA), commonly referred to as Glamis, as an example, Denner pointed out that grants from the OHMVR Division to that facility for operation and maintenance have been totally eliminated! Since many Californians recreate at the ISDRA, grants to that facility from the OHMVR Division have historically been about $1 million per year. So while the Division’s budget is steadily increasing, the expenditures in California to support OHV recreation are actually decreasing.” “So, where does all of the money go that off-roaders pay for the privilege of participating with their families in off-road recreation in California? We believe it is time for an independent audit of the OHMVR Division to see how our money is being spent and why so little of it seems to find its way to improving Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation opportunities in California” said Denner “and we are asking each of you State Legislators to support our effort in demanding this audit.” |
We know where the $90.00 parking fee money went...
It is being used to fund the BLM's PMV study.

Here is the correct link to the BLM Spread Sheet, it works out to
about $3 bucks a user per year. Don't look to be much of a
return on the cost to the users

This is the same info on the TRT site.

Roy Denner said three years I only see one, he could have just been
mistaken about the time table, the info at the end of the broken ASA link
may going back three years who knows whatever. They still should fix it.
