Ethics of ISATVA Members

I will respect the rights of all recreationalists to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. I will respect public and private property.

I will park considerately, taking no more space than needed, without blocking other vehicles, and without impeding access to trails. I will keep to the right when meeting another recreationalist and Yield the right-of-way to traffic moving uphill.

I will slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking another.

I will respect designated areas, trail-use signs and established trails. When stopping, I will not block the trail.

I will not disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of feeding wildlife.

I will not litter and will pack out everything I pack in. I realize that my destination objective and travel speed should be determined by my equipment, ability, the terrain, weather, and traffic on the trail.

In case of emergency, I will volunteer assistance. I will not interfere with or harass others.

I recognize that people judge all trail users by my actions. Motorized trail users should pull off the trail and stop their engines when encountering horseback riders. It is also a good idea to take off your helmet and greet the riders.

Merger Background

In August 10, 2009, Gem State ATV Association President Clark Collins and Idaho ATV Association President Bill Jones met in Boise to discuss the possibility of combining the two organizations. They made an agreement that Idaho’s ATV community would benefit from merging the two organizations. They also agreed that the name for the new organization would be The Idaho State ATV Association, Inc. (ISATVA). Clark and Bill also agreed that it would be best for Clark to seek election as President of the newly formed ISATVA.
