The California Off-Road Vehicle Association (CORVA) just posted an interesting series of graphs and pie charts that reveal the projected breakdown of where off highway vehicle (OHV) funding comes from and where it is delegated to. The Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund projected incomes for the fiscal year 2008-2009 shows a grand total of $85,028,000. Approximately 70 percent comes from gas taxes to the tune of 60,009,000. The second largest income arrives from OHV Registration Fees with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at 19.99 percent for a total of $17,000,000.

Of the annual OHV registration fee of $50, the DMV recieves $7 for each registered OHV, which results in appoximately $3.6 million per year. Cities and counties recieve $4 for an estimated total of $2 million a year. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) receives $6 for a projected $3 million per year. And finally, the Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund receives $33 from each registered vehicle for a total of approximately $17 million.
