The provincial government and the NB All-Terrain Vehicle Federation are behind the mandatory trail permit program that goes into effect Jan. 1.
Public Safety Minister Robert Trevors says the program ensures that users pay for the cost of trail development and maintenance.
Under the Off Road Vehicle Act, anyone riding on a managed trail without a permit will be fined $172.
Permits for 2013 will consist of a three-season permit at a cost of $25, and an annual permit for $75.
Maps of managed trails are listed on the New Brunswick All-Terrain Vehicle Federation website.
