The City of Chillicothe regulates the use of Golf Carts, ATV’s and UTV’s in the community.  Captain Curtis Hays says each of these is allowed, but they must meet certain requirements.

In addition, you must have proof of insurance.

 

Captain Hays says there are restrictions on who can drive the vehicles on city streets.

 

At least 16, have a DL, and if under 18 you must wear a helmet.

 

Hays says there are limitations to where you can drive the machines.  He says normal city streets and alleys are allowed.
