Bill
SF 4318
SF 4318 closes state grant-funded motorized trails to motor vehicles unless explicitly designated otherwise, prioritizing nonmotorized recreation access statewide.
SF 4318 would prohibit motorized vehicle use on trails that receive state grants-in-aid funding, unless those trails are explicitly designated for motorized use. This effectively converts grant-funded trails to nonmotorized-only access by default, requiring affirmative designation decisions for any motorized trail uses.
Minnesota's grant-in-aid trail system serves recreationists across the state and receives significant public funding. This bill would reshape which user groups can access publicly-funded infrastructure, potentially affecting outdoor recreation access, local economies dependent on motorized recreation tourism, and trail maintenance funding models that may rely on motorized user fees.
