Multi-Modal Path & Golf Car Information and Safety
The purpose of this page is to provide information to residents regarding the Multi-Modal Paths in the community as well as information for golf car safety. If you have any questions about the information provided, please contact the District Customer Service Center at 352-753-4508.
In a community of over 130,000 residents, golf car safety is important both on the multimodal paths and on the roadways. To encourage golf car safety, we have several educational materials available to help inform both residents and guests on the proper procedures. Use the links below to view these informative brochures. You can also visit the District Customer Service Center located at 984 Old Mill Run to pick up a copy of these handouts and more.

"Who is allowed to use the multi-modal paths throughout The Villages?” This is a question that the District receives on a regular basis. The multi-modal paths are for use
by
NON-AUTOMOTIVE traffic such as bicycles, golf carts, pedestrians, and skaters. It is not legal…nor is it smart…to drive vehicles such as smart cars, motorcycles, or
mopeds on any of the multi-modal paths in The Villages. For additional information, please click on the header of this announcement to read a memo from District Counsel regarding the use of
multi-modal paths.
Effective July 1, 2013, The Florida Legislature amended FS 319.14 to allow the conversion of a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) to a golf cart. For additional information on the
process of converting a LSV to a golf cart, please click on the header of this announcement or the following website link: Low Speed Vehicles.
