The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office will be seeking public comments on their proposal for the 2027 (G26) State of California Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) grant program. According to state requirements, public comments can be submitted between March 3, 2026, and May 4, 2026.

The Sheriff’s Office is soliciting public input specific to the 2027 cooperative agreement with the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Division. This grant will be for law enforcement activities including, but not limited to, providing visitor safety, OHV Patrols, informing and educating the public regarding environmental issues, and proper off-highway vehicle riding techniques. 

A two-step application process is used by the State of California to allow public comment and feedback before final submittal. Once the preliminary application has been submitted, the public review and comment period opens from March 3, 2026, through May 4, 2026. Final applications that address any feedback are due on June 1, 2026. The state uses an internet-based “On-Line Grant Application” process as the means to apply for state funding. The preliminary application will be available online by visiting the California State OHV Grants and Cooperative Agreements program at Ohv.Parks.Ca.Gov. Select the Grants tab at the top of the website and on the home page select "Public Review Instructions."
