A town in southern Alberta will be one of the first to let golf carts be driven on select roads as part of a provincial pilot program.
Alberta's UCP government made the announcement on Thursday, saying Coaldale, about 10 kilometres east of Lethbridge, will allow limited use of the vehicles.
"Alberta municipalities have unique transportation needs shaped by their geography and community preferences," the province said in a news release.
"Granting municipalities the flexibility to adopt various transportation modes helps reduce congestion and improves the quality of life for residents."
The town’s pilot will last five years, at which time the province will evaluate it if was effective.
"The creation of this pilot project comes as welcome news to the town of Coaldale," said Mayor Jack Van Rijn.
