THE ISSUE STATEMENT
In June, 2001, Moto-Trax, Inc. (a non-profit organization) incorporated in the State of Arizona. The organization was created as a pilot program with the goal of duplicating its concept nationwide. Due to the increasing number of individuals involved in off-highway motorized vehicle (OHV) and non-motorized (NM) activities in urban areas, their Board Members have come together to develop an "Urban OHV/NMA Park".
Off-highway and non-motorized recreation activities are an issue with communities in Arizona. Media coverage and public concern are increasing due to:
Environmental impact issues;
The increasing number of OHV/NMA enthusiasts;
Urban sprawl;
Need for additional youth and family programs;
Need for additional hands-on awareness safety training.
