The Island Campus has several trucks and a golf cart available to support island programing. We follow Colby’s Waterville campus procedures for driving for that require all students and employees to become Colby Certified Operators and adhere to Colby’s Fleet Safety Policy.
Golf Cart Specific Rules:
-
For student operators of off-road type vehicles, such as golf carts and/or utility type vehicles, the student must be 18, have a driver’s license, and complete driver familiarization training administered by the Safety Director or his/her designee (Jake Ward or Doug Saunders for the Island Campus). Carts may only be used on campus for official Colby business.
-
Once training is complete, the student operators must review, sign, and comply at all times with the operator requirements listed in Appendix C, Golf Cart Safety at Colby College.
-
Colby will not tolerate deviations from the operator requirements, and students observed operating the golf carts in violation of Appendix C will receive one warning before losing operator privileges.
-
For employees driving off-road type vehicles, including tractors, gators, lawn mowers, and other work vehicles, training is conducted by the department supervisor(s) or their designeee.
