An eastern Kentucky lawmaker says they need to extend a pilot program for limited all-terrain vehicle travel on state roads. He says it is necessary to further adventure tourism. Legislation to that end has gained unanimous backing in the State Senate.
Pikeville GOP Senator Phillip Wheeler said many counties operate independent ATV trails. He noted the pilot expansion would allow traveling on state roads to go from one trail to another. Wheeler added four-wheeled ATV recreation is attractive today.
