Reminders about MSU golf carts, low speed vehicles, side-by-sides, utility carts
All MSU golf carts, low speed vehicles, side-by-sides, utility carts, etc. are聽required to behave as a vehicle by only driving in an open roadway, obeying all聽traffic control devices, and parking in valid parking spaces. These vehicles,聽unless they have an approved or a work-related duty to be off-road are not to be聽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聽park on campus without a valid MSU parking permit.
Given the recent policy change in the City of Starkville that allows golf carts聽and low speed vehicles to operate on city streets, all MSU vehicles are required聽to register with Parking and Transit Services and purchase a permit for $5.聽This permit will assist Parking and Transit Services and the University Police聽in being able to differentiate between official MSU vehicles and private聽vehicles and provide a point-of-contact and responsible party for MSU vehicles聽that are permitted to operate on campus.
To register a vehicle, please bring the vehicle make, model, color and聽responsible party contact information to the Parking and Transit Services office聽in the Roberts Building. Permits are $5 and are valid for the life of the聽cart. Permits must be displayed on the cart at all times, and replacement permits聽will be $5.
Beginning Dec. 1, any unregistered golf cart, low speed vehicle,聽side-by-side, utility cart, etc. that is operating or parked on campus will be聽immobilized with a boot and/or towed.
For more information, please contact Parking and Transit Services at聽662-325-3526.
