Golf-Cart (Cart) Operations and Pedestrian Safety

Due to the recent growth in campus construction, several cart paths have been eliminated or temporarily closed-off; causing an increase in the number of carts being driven on pedestrian sidewalks. To ensure continued pedestrian safety, we would like to remind all cart operators of the following safety procedures and practices. With your help we can continue to maintain a safe campus:

• Carts must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at all times.
• When operating a cart on a sidewalk, the operator should pull over and allow pedestrians to pass before   proceeding. Avoid using sidewalks with high pedestrian traffic in order to reduce the risk of injury.
• Drivers of carts should adhere to the same traffic laws as vehicles including posted driving guidelines and   traffic signaling. Drivers of carts that are not equipped with turn indicators should use appropriate hand   signals.

If you have questions regarding the use of university vehicles, please send them to Joseph Stilwill, Facilities Fleet Manager at fleet@utsa.edu. Mr. Stilwill is responsible for the university Fuel Card program, preventative and corrective vehicle maintenance, vehicle purchases and replacements, management of vehicle mileage and university vehicle related accident reports.
