Voucher Notes
Please note that using our online forms does not immediately provide you with a voucher online. If you provide us with your email address, we will send your voucher via email. Otherwise, the voucher will be mailed to you along with your membership packet through USPS. Our processing time is typically 2 days or less, plus mail delivery time.
If you encounter any issues receiving or printing your voucher via email, please contact our Membership Secretary at mexico.trailriders@icloud.com as soon as possible for assistance.
For faster access to your voucher, you can visit the NYSSA website at NYSSA. Once you join, you can download your voucher directly, and we will receive notification of your membership within 1 to 2 weeks. At that time, we will send the remaining materials of your membership packet.
Membership Application Notes
We offer two types of memberships: Regular and Gratuitous/Landowner. Gratuitous/Landowner memberships are available to individuals who allow our trails to cross their property or make substantial contributions to the club. If neither of these applies to you, please select the Regular membership. All membership types will be verified before processing.
You also have the option to upgrade your NYSSA membership to the Trail Defender level. By selecting this option, you are opting for the Trail Defender membership instead of the basic NYSSA membership, at an additional cost of $20.
If you’ve already joined NYSSA through another club, you can claim an exemption for a total cost of $24.00. This must be done in person at one of our regular meetings.
What’s Included with Your MTR Membership:
State registration voucher
Decal
Map
For the DMV voucher, we need the exact names and addresses as they appear on ALL vehicle registrations.
Important Notes:
We’ve provided spaces for six names: Member, Spouse (married or not), and up to four children.
If you need to include additional names, please write them on a separate sheet or the back of the form.
All addresses must be the same, as this defines a family in the eyes of the voucher program.
If you need a separate mailing or voucher address, please fill in those details. If not, leave the voucher address blank.
We only need all last names if they differ from the member’s last name.
