MISSION STATEMENT
SDORC – San Diego Off-Road Coalition
The San Diego Off-Road Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the promotion of off-roading as a safe, healthy, family activity.
Mission Statement
The Mission of the San Diego Off-Road Coalition
is to further off-roading as a safe family experience while promoting and preserving the natural environment.
To achieve our goals:
- SDORC
works with other associations, governmental organizations, and interested individuals to bring about a safe and responsible off-roading
experience.
- SDORC is currently working with local community planning groups, county and state officials, and other OHV organizations
to create new OHV trails and recreation areas in the county.
Accomplishments:
- SDORC is working on a number of issues on behalf of
theOHV community including:
- Instrumental in preventing the Imperial Sand Dunes from being included in the Desert Protection Act that
closed 7 million acres in the Southern California area.
- Played a key role in the Board of Supervisors' vote to continue the off-road
trail system study, providing thousands of signatures in support of the trail system.
- Adopted a 2 mile section of I-8 near Corral Canyon under
the "Adopt-a-Highway" program.
- Led protest against closure of Coyote Canyon. Submitted hundreds of letters in opposition.
- Groomed
trails in Corral Canyon and Wildomar OHV areas.
- Won "Club of the Year" award from CORVA (California Off-Road Vehicle Association)
in 1995.
- Members have served on State, County, and local committees protecting OHV (off-highway vehicle) opportunities.
- Members have
testified before Federal Hearings in Washington, DC, State Commissions, BLM Hearings, National Forest Service Conference in Wash,
DC, CARB (California Air Resource Board), and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
Together Everyone Achieves More
There have always
been, and will always be, threats from many directions to the pursuit of our chosen recreation. Currently we are fighting to prevent
loss of riding opportunities due to the Endangered Species Act, the Multiple Species Conservation Program, and environmental extremist
agendas. The off-highway community must become as well organized as its opponents.
SDORC is involved in projects that will benefit
the users of all types of off-highway vehicles; projects such as the county-wide multiple use trail plan. SDORC has been instrumental
in bringing large amounts of "green sticker" money into San Diego County and continues to work closely with all local, state, and
federal agencies dealing with of-highway vehicle recreation.
The Coalition's board members and chairpersons are volunteers who incur
many expenses while performing their duties. Traveling to meetings, long distance phone bills, stationary, postage, copying expenses,
etc. add up and are important to the work being done. SDORC's only forms of funding are donations, fund-raisers, and memberships.
Your membership and volunteer efforts will help us continue.
