ATVs and UTVs are widely used in rural areas but are a leading cause of injury and death, particularly on public roads where they are not designed to operate. Despite safety warnings, more communities are legalizing their use on roadways. This webinar explores the risks of on-road ATV/UTV use, design-related safety concerns, and strategies rural families can use to prevent crashes and injuries.

Explore the leading causes of injuries and fatalities involving ATVs and UTVs in agricultural settings. Learn practical safety strategies and best practices to help prevent accidents and protect the agricultural community.
