ATVs are not intended for on-road usage; however, they are ridden on public roads illegally in some jurisdictions and legally in others. FARS captures data on all fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes, including on-road ATV fatal
crashes. FARS does not capture ATV-related fatal crashes that occur off-road. However, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports annually on any ATV-related fatalities and injuries, including both on-road and off-road incidents.
