Tom Bover, saying he represents an ATV Alliance in formation, told the Adams County Highway Committee the alliance will elect officers and approve bylaws at its next meeting and requested the committee’s support for unified local ordinances on ATVs and UTVs.

"UTVs, ATVs are here to stay and working together is the easiest alternative for successful progress," Bover said, asking the committee to help make Adams County uniform and, possibly, lead state progress on ATV/UTV ordinances. He said ordinance changes are needed and asked for the committee’s cooperation.

Bover also emphasized potential economic benefits. He said, "2023 ATV and UTV riders contributed 5,430,000,000 to the Wisconsin economy," and framed that revenue as a reason to move forward. He described the movement as "not in any way a negative situation for Adams County" and asked committee members to consider the positives alongside the negatives when weighing ordinance changes.

Committee members did not engage in extended discussion on the request during the public comment period; the chair thanked Bover and moved on to the reports section.
