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

For more information about this training, contact your supervisor or Facilities Development & Operations (FD&O).
