Plan your Ride

Before you hit the trail, make sure you have everything you need for a safe, legal, and hassle-free ride. Your gear isn't just about helmets and machines — it also includes your paperwork.

​

Membership Documents = Your Trail Access
When you purchase your VASA membership, you’ll receive your 10-day temporary membership documents by email immediately after checkout. These documents serve as your legal permission to ride and must be carried with you anytime you're on the trails. Once the VASA Office reviews, processes, and approves your application, you will then receive your Final membership documents by e-mail, and your TAD stickers will be sent by regular mail.

 

*Keep note, Law enforcement and trail officials may ask to see them at any time.

​

Important:
The TAD sticker that arrives in the mail is not your trail pass — it's simply your decal that should be applied to your machine. Both the membership documents and TAD sticker you receive are what allow you to legally access the VASA trail system.

​

Required Gear:

• DOT-approved helmet (for ATV riders)

• Sports-use helmet with chin strap (for side-by-side riders)

• Valid registration

• Proof of insurance

• Membership documents (printed or digital copy on your phone)

• Trail Access Decal applied to your machine(once received)

​
