Why consultation isn't required
The Environmental Bill of Rights does not require this proposal to be posted on the Environmental Registry as a proposal notice. However, we are sharing our Regulatory Registry proposal for a golf cart pilot on Pelee Island for information purposes.
Bulletin details
Updates have been made to the Golf Cart Pilot on Peele Island proposal. Please refer to the updated bulletin for recent changes. Supporting links are provided below.
MTO recognizes the importance of new or existing vehicle technology, especially if it expands mobility options for Ontarians; however, safety remains a top priority.
The safe integration of new or existing vehicle types with pedestrians and other vehicles is a key consideration before any vehicle type will be allowed on-road.
Although golf carts may resemble low-speed vehicles, they do not meet the safety standards for low-speed vehicles required in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) and therefore are currently not permitted on Ontario roads.
We are exploring the feasibility of a regulatory and policy framework regarding a pilot for the on-road use of golf carts on Pelee Island while promoting road safety and fostering economic growth and tourism in the province.
We are providing this notice to make the public aware that a proposal regarding a pilot for the on-road use of golf carts on Pelee Island has been posted on the Regulatory Registry for 30 days for public comment. The public is invited to review and comment on the proposal through the Regulatory Registry. To view the proposal, follow the link provided below.
