ATV Industry Facts: Did You Know?

A decade of something good.

In the past decade, the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative granted more than $3.5 million supporting the program’s mission of guaranteeing responsible access to land for outdoor recreation, staking a clear claim in the powersports industry as the unprecedented leader in supporting those who work and play outdoors.

“Now 10 years strong, the Outdoor Access Initiative continues to be a resource for all outdoor enthusiasts in the fight to preserve access,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha ATV/side-by-side group marketing manager. “Whatever you ride, however you hunt, camp or enjoy the outdoors, if there’s no access, there’s no recreation. Which is why inclusive projects — those serving the needs of many different outdoor and motorized recreationists — get our attention.”

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018, the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is going strong and accepting qualified applications for consideration of support and funding. For more information on the Outdoor Access Initiative, or to submit a grant application, visit www.YamahaOAI.com.
