Grand Junction and Gateway areas
This is area is as critical for off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation as the White River and Gunnison National Forest Travel Management Plans. The Grand Mesa area contains the biggest area in the state to increase OHV recreation. The Trails Preservation Alliance will make this project one of our most important projects for 2008 and 2009.

Colorado 500 and Rocky Mountain Motorcycle events
The Trails Preservation Alliance will continue to support these events.

Mining Claims and Right of Way Easements
The Trails Preservation Alliance is currently exploring the possibiliy of buying existing mining claims, or right of way easements through the claims, in order to allow for motorized access thru private property.

Off-road Motorcycle Clubs
The Trails Preservation Alliance will continue the practice of assisting new Colorado off-road motorcycle clubs in their start up operations. This can include cash grants and other actions as needed.

Education
The Trails Preservation Alliance (TPA) understands that rider education on how to use the trails with other user groups is essential in preserving the “multi use“ trail concept.

The TPA will work with local Colorado motorcycle clubs and other organizations to educate all user groups (not just motorcycle riders), on trail etiquette and proper trail use. This will involve the “Stay the Trail” (www.staythetrail.org) concept developed by COHVCO, managed by The Responsible Recreation Foundation, and endorsed by Colorado State Parks.

The TPA will also work to educate the trail land managers (FS and BLM) on specific motorized issues that affect multi-use trails. These tasks will need the involvement of all motorcycle riders. The TPA intends to utilize all state clubs in this effort.

Grants
The Trails Preservation Alliance will apply for OHV grants ( State, Federal and Private), to use as part of our trail maintenance program. These grants when approved will be used to help build new trails and preserve the ones that are all ready in use.
