Small Cart Operation Training
The safety of drivers, cart passengers and the pedestrians they
encounter, is paramount at SJSU.
This training is for employees that use electric carts during
the course of their job duties.
When operating an electric cart, remember these guidelines:
- Before entering and starting the vehicle, do a
visible check by walking around the cart. Look for any fluid leaks, flat tires
and double check that cargo is properly stored and secured
- If your cart is equipped with seat belts, be sure to
use them
- Do not exceed the campus maximum speed limit of 5
miles per hour
- Passengers should remain seated and should hold on to
cart grab bars at all times
- Always keep both hands on the steering wheel and
arms/legs inside the vehicle
- Riders are not allowed in the cargo area
- Remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way at
all times
- When parking, do not block building entrances
