PLEASE REGISTER YOUR SLEDS BY DECEMBER 1ST IF YOU PLAN TO RIDE IN NEW YORK THIS YEAR

Most of you folks know about the trail fund and how it works, but for those that don't:

All trail grant funds are generated solely by registration dollars. Out of your registration dollar, $10 goes to DMV for processing, the rest goes to the Trail Fund. NYS Office of Parks is responsible for setting the grant per mile amount based on registrations received by December 1st. Last year they delayed until the 31st because registrations were coming in so slow. As of the 31st, there were 67K registrations state wide. Parks estimated a total of 80K which caused the per mile reimbursement to clubs to be $300 per mile of Corridor 'A' and $125 for Secondary 'A'. This put clubs across the state in a terrible financial bind as you may have read on this and other sites. The only cure for this is increased registrations.

The good news is that by the end of last season there was over 128K of registrations which means there is 48K+ worth of registrations in the fund that will be rolled over this year.

If you want better trails in better condition, please help us by registering by December 1st.

If you are a member of a club, great! If not, please join a club-it's easy- go to The NYSSA Website, click on join a club and please join a club where you ride. This will save you $55 per sled registered less the club membership fee.

Well put Gary!!

The problem alot of guys have is waiting for your card from the club your in. I can`t register until i get the paperwork from my club so it`s in their hands.

If you need a voucher right away you can join a club online.

You will first have to register https://membership.nyssnowassoc.org/account/registration then you will recieve your NYSSA ID

Then you can join a club online using the nyssa website https://membership.nyssnowassoc.org/club/statemap you will be able to print out your voucher after you are done to take to dmv to register.

Can a mod please pin this until December 1st.

TTT!!!

mine were all done in September !!!

sent mine in for 3 sleds yesterday, lets pray for snow!!! thanks , ron

Actually, you can register direct and join your club online and immeidately print out your voucher from the link provided.

Thanks to those that have already registered and for those about to!

Please help get the word out to as many snowmobilers as possible before December 1st.

As suggested by wfocatman in the Tug Hill Grooming thread we could post this information in places we think snowmobilers might frequent, such as: bars, gas stations, restaurants, etc. This is an excellent idea to get the word out to sledders throughout all of NY state. Below is a template that can be printed out. All that is left to do is post em!

hi guys, my wifes family owns a polaris dealership and I'm going to have my mother-in-law hang a few in their store and let people know about it when they are in the store, just trying to do my part, thanks , ron

Thanks!

Steve Lewis reported to NYSSA today that there are currently a little over 24,000 sleds registered as of yesterday. These numbers are going to drive the return for trail grant money way down.

PLEASE REGISTER NOW.

Working on mine right now. I'll be registering 10 sleds before 01 Dec, between me and my family and friends.

Everyone needs the money, especially with gas costs over $3 and higher in some locations. Please register ASAP!!!!!

Please pass the word to your friends that don't read the boards too!

Thanks.

A press release was sent ou tto all directors and alternates at NYSSA late last week. Hopefully they will get them to the local media and we'll see some in print. I sent to the press outlets and television stations in Western New York.

Only 4 days left.Register the sleds NOW.

Can this thread be removed.

It is a little behind the times....

YA THINK???

The date Parks is using this year (2008) is November 1st. Actually, Parks' own law mandates that timeline in order for them to set their budget for the remainder of the year and, more importantly, set the rates per mile for club reimbursement.
