Public Safety Minister Robert Trevors says the program ensures that users pay the cost of trail development and maintenance.
Under the Off Road Vehicle Act, anyone riding on a managed trail without a permit will be fined $172.
Permits for 2013 will consist of a three-season permit at a cost of $25 and an annual permit for $75.
Maps of managed trails are listed on the New Brunswick All-Terrain Vehicle Federation website.
