Equal access to Rhode Island public lands

The Issue

We, the listed residents of Rhode Island, respectfully request to begin the process of finding a solution to having equal access to Rhode Island public land for the use of off-road activities. 

For too long, off-road enthusiast's have been denied equal access to public land. We are hard-working tax payers who only want the right to enjoy our hobby as any other Rhode Island resident is able to.

We strongly believe that there is a solution that would work for all parties involved, if given a chance to open the discussion on the matter.

We do understand that there has been negative events in the past regarding this issue, but it should not set the tone for the entire off-road enthusiast community. Overall, we are a safety conscience group who care deeply about the environment.  

It is also understood, that the idea of just opening land for our use is not a feasible option. But with the use of permits, additional insurance, and the help of the several responsible off-road groups in the state we can create a system that would work for everybody. 

We appreciate you taking the time to read our petition and we hope to be starting a positive discussion on the matter in the near future.

Best Regards,

Residents of Rhode Island.
