Sounds to me like some leverage that needs to be exercised through the MTO/OFSC agreement. Permit must increase to cover the cost of paid off duty officers to patrol the trails and lay charges accordingly in order to sustain a properly run and enforced trail system for the safety of all that partake in the activity. -
Its regulated through the mto permit agreement with ofsc. Permit is a mto document. Atv clubs are not regulated, so they have paid patrols. -

I don't know if the OFSC pays the OPP for enforcement. We have a couple of volunteers that are retired officers. They say the problem is the OPP is short staffed due to many factors, ie maternity/paternity leave, leave of absences, court, etc.. that most times, they can't afford to pull 2 officers out of vehicles to hop on sleds to ride around all day doing enforcement. -

I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying but enforcement is the only way to stop freeloaders on the trails. 2 counties in District 9 last year apparently had no OPP officers "trained" for snowmobile patrol so the sleds there stayed parked and the only enforcement done was roadside. It won't get better if something doesn't change. -
The issue with enforcement, is to get it, you need to be in bed with the MTO, and we can see now how that has worked. the transfer $$$$ from permit to the OPP is likely fairly substantial. what’s the return?
