In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the significant rise in All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) usage in Wisconsin, highlighting a nearly 20% increase in registrations over the past five years. This surge has led to a notable uptick in local approvals for ATV and UTV usage on township roads, with seven out of fifteen townships in Sheboygan County now permitting these vehicles. The latest township to join this trend is Plymouth, which recently voted to allow ATV and UTV access.

Debbie from the town of Plymouth indicated that they are currently awaiting a response from Sheboygan County regarding which county roads may be exempt from this new permission. This development reflects a growing trend in the state as more communities adapt to the increasing popularity of off-road vehicles, raising questions about road safety and infrastructure readiness.
