Where official Mizzou vehicles belong and what drivers need to know.
From service trucks to golf carts, all Mizzou-owned or operated vehicles have designated places to park and clear guidelines to follow. Read the Official Vehicles Parking Policy. Here’s what departments and drivers should keep in mind.
Parking and storage accommodations may be assigned to official vehicles owned, operated or administered by the University of Missouri and its affiliated departments and units.
Departments are responsible for notifying Parking & Transportation of changes to official vehicle ownership, assignment or status. Official vehicles operating or parking on campus must be properly registered and permitted when required.
All official vehicles operating or parking on campus must display a valid permit when required and comply with all university parking and traffic regulations.
Parking & Transportation may adjust official vehicle parking areas to:
- Maintain safety and security
- Support operational needs
- Ensure effective use of limited parking resources across campus
Golf carts, Gators and other similar low-speed vehicles are subject to additional operational requirements.
This policy applies to all leased, owned or rented golf cart-type vehicles used by University of Missouri departments, including temporary event-use vehicles. Vehicles used exclusively on the Gustin Golf Course or University Farms are exempt unless operated outside those areas.
Requirements:
- All vehicles must be registered with Parking & Transportation.
- The exterior of vehicles must display clear departmental identification.
- Operators must possess a valid driver’s license.
- Vehicles may only operate on public roadways if they meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards for street-legal vehicles.
Privately owned golf carts and similar low-speed vehicles are not permitted unless authorized by the university.
