PROGRAM RULES/GUIDELINES:
CatCart program vehicles are not city-street legal, and therefore cannot leave campus. Service is not available to off-campus housing. Anyone registering for CatCart service should be able to independently get in and out of a standard golf cart on their own. Due to liability concerns, drivers cannot provide assistance.
Due to high demand for the program, drivers will not wait more than five (5) minutes past a scheduled pick-up time. If you are not ready at your assigned location/time, the driver may leave without you to continue their other assignments. If you no longer require a scheduled pickup, please call in advance to cancel the ride.
Service will be automatically terminated after three (3) consecutive missed pick-ups. If service is no longer needed, please contact the CatCart program at (209) 228-8277 to be removed from the schedule. See map below for CatCart Program drop off and pick up locations.
Contact the TAPS Help Desk at (209) 228-8277 or toll free at (866) 755-8277 for information or inquiries about these Event Services.
