Maintenance includes purchase or rental of equipment such as all-terrain vehicles and excavators used to maintain ATV trails.  Sign replacement and trail guides may be included in maintenance applications.

Incidental responses related to ATV use to areas outside riding areas are allowed, but should not be the main focus. Law enforcement project sponsors must be representatives of federal, state, county or city agencies. Officers must have arrest authority and their primary duties are law enforcement. Employees who focus on O&M duties but also have citation authority fit under the O&M project type. For example, in the US Forest Service, Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) are considered law enforcement, while Forest Protection Officers (FPOs) are considered O&M. BLM Rangers are considered Law Enforcement.
