umccall+FollowHandicapped parking passes: Not just for cars!Turns out, in Sumter County, folks with disabilities can get handicapped parking passes for both their cars and golf carts—no need to choose one over the other.

It seems rules might differ by county, but the need for accessibility doesn’t change just because you’re behind the wheel of a golf cart. Anyone else had a different experience in their county? #Transportation #Accessibility #CommunityTalk00Share
