UTVs are considered ATVs and must follow all ATV regulations while operating on ATV trails, routes and areas designated as open to UTVs under the UTV Pilot Program.

One regulation unique to UTVs is the minimum age of a UTV operator is set at 16.  Operators are not required to have a driver’s license, but operators at least age 16 and born on or after January 1, 1988 are required to hold a valid ATV safety certificate.  Persons under age 16 may not operate a UTV under the UTV Pilot Program.
