FY 2007 Public Funding of Minnesota Motorized Clubs and Routes
22,682 miles of publicly funded noise, fumes, danger to others & damage to our environment

Advanced Search

Following is a comprehensive listing of all snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, dirt bike motorcycle, and four-wheel drive truck clubs and routes receiving Minnesota's public funds. (See How the Public Funds Motorized Recreation.) These disbursements are funded primarily by your gas-tax dollars - over $5 million in FY2005.  Before these funds are disbursed, clubs are required to complete an application and submit high-quality maps, ownership lists and valid easements for all public and private land crossed by the routes.  The publicly funded motorized routes and clubs that MRR has audited are routinely missing some or all of these documents, without which monies are being disbursed in violation of the signed grant agreements.  In the absence of oversight and accountability some clubs have engaged in operations that have caused severe damage to public lands.  (See MRR's Case Studies of the Unwanted Effects of Public Funding of Motorized Recreation.) While counties typically serve as fiscal agents for publicly funded motorized clubs and routes, townships and cities also provide such sponsorship - none of which appropriately take a percentage for oversight or to mitigate the unwanted effects of this funding.

Below is an excerpt from MRR's Grant-In-Aid Database currently under development and designed to summarize audit data of all types. Despite the continuing flow of millions of public dollars each year, we have yet to find one grant-in-aid file being administered in accordance with signed grant agreements and Minnesota law.

Note: Non-snowmobile 2007 funds read zero because they have not been processed yet.
