Alternative Vehicles & Golf Carts

Golf Carts and Alternative Vehicles owned by Ohio University must be registered with Parking Services.  A registration decal is required on all OU golf carts and alternative vehicles so the department may be identified if necessary.  To obtain a registration decal, please contact Teresa Trussell at 740-593-1917 or via e-mail at trussell@ohio.edu.  All requests must come from a full time employee of the department with the golf cart or alternative vehicle.

 
Designated parking areas must be arranged with Parking Services ahead of time based on departmental needs.  Additionally, any unpainted curb area within a University lot is permitted as a valid, temporary parking area.  Yellow curbs and firelanes are not permitted.  Meters may be utilized provided all fees are paid while parking.

Areas where parking is prohibited:

1.  Pedestrian walkways.  At no time may a golf cart or alternative vehicle block a sidewalk, curb cut access, or building access area. 
2.  At a building entrance.  To include directly in front or near an entrance. 
3.  Within any parking lot in a designated space or restricted space or area.  Permits are required in all lots on campus, and golf carts and alternative vehicles may not park within permit designated areas.
4.  Parking on the grass.
5.  Parking within a handicap space or the access isle for a handicap space.
6.  Parking in front of a dumpster or blocking a loading dock.
7.  Yellow curbs and firelanes.
8.  Unpaid metered spaces.  All fees must be paid at a meter.

Golf carts that are not owned by Ohio University will not be issued a registration decal and are not permitted parking on campus.  Violatiors will be cited and/or towed at the owners expense.
