Earlier this week, RCRC Member Supervisors Lee Adams (Sierra) and Matt Kingsley (Inyo) testified in support of Senate Bill 1345 (Berryhill) which would continue Inyo County’s pilot project to allow for ‘combined-use’ vehicles on county roads.  The bill would have also added Sierra County to the pilot.  

This pilot allows Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) to utilize public right-of-ways for up to ten miles in order to provide an Adventure Trail system within each county.  While the bill gained passage in the Senate Transportation & Housing Committee, Sierra County was removed from the bill, meaning that SB 1345 only continues Inyo County’s program for an additional three years.  The measure will now be review in the Senate Appropriations Committee next month. ‪
