The Alberta government has announced that several municipalities will soon allow golf carts to be driven on municipal roads.
The Town of Coaldale was the first to launch the pilot project and the program will run for the next five years.
"Pilot projects like this one hold the key to unlocking new modes of transportation for everyone," said Devin Dreeshen, minister of transportation and economic corridors.
Other municipalities that will start allowing golf carts and other off-highway vehicles include Lacombe County, Linden, Whispering Hills, Delburne, Acme, and Half Moon Bay.
StrathmoreNow reached out to the Town of Strathmore to see if they would be applying to allow golf carts in the area.
According to Johnathan Strathdee, manager of communications, Strathmore is not considering it at this time.
Local bylaws say off-highway vehicles are forbidden from being driven on municipal roads in Strathmore. The only exception is during an emergency, disaster, or search and rescue operation.
