This study was produced in cooperation between the University of Idaho Social Science Research Unit and the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The purpose of this study is to measure the level of activity and spending from OHV users in counties across Idaho. This study evaluated spending for OHV trips.
This study analyzed expenditures in all Idaho counties. The study only surveyed Idaho residents so the findings do not include spending by out-of-state residents.
The results illustrate that while many recreation trips may occur in smaller towns, spending on trips and equipment remains concentrated in population and retail centers. This study is relevant for people interested in understanding the magnitude of economic impacts from off-highway vehicles (OHV). The rural counties near population centers get the most visits, but spending on trips and equipment remains mostly in the larger cities. Off-highway vehicle users in Idaho take about 500,000 trips annually to counties away from their home towns and spend $186 million during these trips.

At the same time, this freedom must be balanced with thoughtful conversations on how to limit adversaries’ access to vehicle internals. The OBD-II port was created to provide consumers with choice and control over their purchase. The CERT/CC hopes this research will better inform consumers, enterprise fleet managers, insurance companies, and policy makers about the potential risks of these devices. If these devices are compromised, the potential impact may include loss of privacy, vehicle performance degradation or failure, and potential injury. The CERT/CC analyzed a representative sample of devices for vulnerabilities and found widespread failure to apply basic security principles. The Department of Homeland Security’s US-CERT tasked the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to study aftermarket on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) devices to understand the cybersecurity impact to consumers and the public.
