MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton has launched a registration process for personal transportation vehicles, or PTVs, that will be required to operate the machines on public streets later this year. Owners of PTVs, which commonly include golf carts, would pay a nominal fee and agree to abide by a few simple rules to help ensure the safety of their vehicles, passengers and those they might encounter. To register your PTV, complete a form at miltonga.gov/home/ showdocument?id=6638 on a computer or phone, then print it out and bring it to the Finance Department at Milton City Hall with a $15 payment. Once you receive your registration sticker, put it on your vehicle’s rear quarter bumper on the driver’s side so that it is visible. If you can’t make it to City Hall, you can mail the completed form to: City of Milton Finance Department Milton City Hall 2006 Heritage Walk Milton, GA 30004 Re: PTV Registration
