Reminders about ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ golf carts, low speed vehicles, side-by-sides, utility carts
All ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ golf carts, low speed vehicles, side-by-sides, utility carts, etc. are required to behave as a vehicle by only driving in an open roadway, obeying all traffic control devices, and parking in valid parking spaces. These vehicles, unless they have an approved or a work-related duty to be off-road are not to be driven or parked on sidewalks, landscaped or turfed areas, plazas, etc.
No private vehicle may operate on campus without a state issued license plate or park on campus without a valid ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ parking permit.
Given the recent policy change in the City of Starkville that allows golf carts and low speed vehicles to operate on city streets, all ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ vehicles are required to register with Parking and Transit Services and purchase a permit for $5. This permit will assist Parking and Transit Services and the University Police in being able to differentiate between official ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ vehicles and private vehicles and provide a point-of-contact and responsible party for ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ vehicles that are permitted to operate on campus.
To register a vehicle, please bring the vehicle make, model, color and responsible party contact information to the Parking and Transit Services office in the Roberts Building. Permits are $5 and are valid for the life of the cart. Permits must be displayed on the cart at all times, and replacement permits will be $5.
Beginning Dec. 1, any unregistered golf cart, low speed vehicle, side-by-side, utility cart, etc. that is operating or parked on campus will be immobilized with a boot and/or towed.
For more information, please contact Parking and Transit Services at 662-325-3526.
