Polaris' Geared For Good program is a push to create a positive impact on those involved with the company (both directly and indirectly) while minimizing the environmental impact of the company's doings. It covers four items: Product (with an emphasis on customer satisfaction, safety, and environmental impact), Production (reducing the negative consequences brought about by its operations), Places (working to bring a positive impact on land and water), and People (focusing on safety in the workplace and on the trail). Some of these efforts overlap, like working on a 22-megawatt solar storage project in Texas, while others are directed purposefully at what buyers are looking for, like specific models and features.

Your ATV or Side-by-Side (SxS) represents a significant investment, and one that you will likely want to protect with some form of insurance policy. In fact, many banks will require some form of insurance to cover the machine if you have any form of loan out for buying it. But how do you get your ATV or SxS insured? It’s not as tricky as it may seem, nor is it going to be overly expensive in most cases.
