Here is a posting of new laws while riding or operating a ATV/UTV in WI. It is your responsibility to abide by and know all the local and state requirements while operating or being a passenger.

Effective June 1, 2026, Wisconsin law mandates that all occupants of a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV)—including both operators and passenger.

Full Occupant Requirement: Every person on board must have their seatbelt securely fastened while the UTV is in motion.

No Aftermarket Seating Exceptions: All passengers must ride in designated, factory-installed seating. Aftermarket "bump seats" or riding in the cargo bed remain illegal.

Safety Context: State officials note that roughly 95% of fatal off-road crashes involve occupants who fail to wear a seatbelt, a helmet, or both.

What else is new...

Window Tint Limits: UTVs are now subject to strict window tint restrictions that closely mirror the standards used for standard passenger cars.

Towing Restrictions: Operators are strictly prohibited from towing any object or trailer that is carrying a person on public trails or designated road routes.

Property Damage Penalties: If an operator intentionally causes property damage with an ATV or UTV, they can be penalized up to three times the financial cost required to repair the trail or property, such as tearing up town gravel roads or damaging property off a designated trail.

What is already law, Reminder...

Helmets: Anyone under the age of 18 (whether driving or riding as a passenger) is required by law to wear a DOT-approved helmet.

Safety Certification: Any operator born on or after January 1, 1988, who is at least 12 years old must complete a state-approved safety course and carry their certificate while riding on public lands. You can view upcoming classes or take the course online via the Wisconsin DNR Safety Education Portal.

You may notice the Waukesha County DPW began installing ATV route signs on certain Waukesha County highways today. THESE ROUTES ARE NOT OPEN YET!
They are part of a pilot program which will be used to evaluate potential expansion of the route network or used to rescind the entire program if people do not use them responsibly.

A lot of work went into getting things this far, please be patient and wait until they are officially opened before riding on them.

Once they are open please continue to be aware of the time and money our group has invested in this pilot program and don’t screw it up. Thank you.

We have our season kickoff meeting tonight! Wingin' It Bar & Grill at 6:30.

Updated: We are canceling our kick off meeting for tonight. We are rescheduling for next Monday, March 23rd.

As of right now we are still planning on having our kick off meeting for the year. We meet at Wingin' It Bar & Grill at 6:30pm on the third Monday of every month, March thru November. We look forward to seeing all our members and hope to meet some new ones. With this incoming snow storm, please be safe out there and pack some extra patience if you have to be on the roads tomorrow. Fingers crossed this storm will just fall apart.
