School pickup and rides in Peachtree City
School pickup in Peachtree City can mean a golf cart as well as a car. A local cart dealer told FOX 5 in 2025 that carts have become "families and children driving to school", and the city's paths connect neighborhoods with schools; the district lists six elementaries in town plus J.C. Booth Middle and McIntosh High.
Parents stay in charge: you decide who may collect your child, arrange the school's pickup permission yourself, and meet the driver before the first day. Drivers should know that a hired adult doesn't count as the front-seat adult a 12- to 14-year-old needs to drive a cart, so a young teen shouldn't take the wheel on the way home.
Ask a Peachtree City pickup neighbor up front whether they'll come by car or by cart, because carts are kept off Highway 74, Highway 54 and Peachtree Parkway except at authorized crossings.
Good to know in Peachtree City
- Everyone in a moving cart has to stay seated, with no child on the driver's lap, so the number of seats sets how many kids one cart can take. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 78-96(l) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
- Carts may never be driven on sidewalks. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 78-93(g) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
- Without working headlights and taillights, a cart may run only in daylight, which matters for a late practice pickup in winter. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 78-93(h) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
- School runs for pay aren't addressed anywhere in the September 2026 city code, so put that question to the city and to your auto insurer before charging. (Peachtree City Code of Ordinances (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
- Giving rides for pay as a regular, advertised service is regulated in Georgia: it generally needs a Department of Public Safety certificate and for-hire insurance, or has to be arranged through a state-licensed ride-share company. (codes.findlaw.com)

Questions people ask
How do I add a neighbor to my child's pickup list?
Ask your school, since each one has its own form or process. Then tell your child who will be picking them up.
What about car seats and boosters?
Your child should ride in the right seat for their size on every trip. Agree on whose seat is used and who installs it.
Can the driver bring other kids too?
Some neighbors run a small carpool. Make sure every family knows who else rides along and agrees to it.
