Im gonna join up with trailpass this year. Its 50$ to join......i just hope our registration doesnt go up to 45$ . Thats just plain insane. I refuse to pay more than a snowmobile. Ny snoymobiles pay what?, 25 or is it 35 dollars?

 

The snowmobiles regi is going up too.I dont know if theirs will be 35 or 45 like ours though.

isnt it 35 now

 

The registration fee for a resident snowmobile is $25 for non resident it is $35.

much better! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Even if you don't agree, by discusssing it you're bringing it attention that it needs. Personally, I think trailpass is great, except that I STILL have to register anyway and there are no trailpass trails near me. If you look at my photos, you can see the data that I collected. The more $$$ that NYS gets from us, the more the issue of trails will be forced to be brought up and dealt with. If they are getting millions from us, then the issue will be very visible.

 

Memento,
I know you are into the facts and figures type thing so I thought you might be interested in this thread I saw on another forum.Thread
It shows how much money in tourism and some other numbers and facts in Wisconsin due to atving.

Memento,
The link doesnt work properly but it will get you to the board the thread is in the "other atv topics" section and is titled:It's here(you'll want to see this).

thanks for that link. There's some very good info there!

If you look at the document in my gallery, I included Pennsylvania tourism $$ gained from ATVing. At the time I also knew that similar info was available for Wisconsin, but it seemed that people were more likely to think that things are so different in the midwest that it wasn't applicable. With Penn. data - they are a direct neighbor. Probably less than a couple hours away from most of the residents in NY. Basically, Penn. made $5,000,000 in ATV tourism dollars in the given year for the data (1998 I think). That doesn't include registration, dealer sales, taxes, etc.

NY and our eco-***** are so freaking STUPID! With the economy as it is and with my job in jeopardy because of it I want to go smack everyone in Albany upside their heads!

 

I don't understand something with that data. Pennsylvania calculated like $15 per trip average - sounds reasonable. Wisconsin calculated $533 per trip? WTF? That doesn't pass the common sense test to me. What's rolled into that number?

 

Memento,
She rpobally is including hotel,food etc.That is the only thing I can figure.
