"With about 9,300 golf carts registered among its 13,000 households, [Peachtree City] 31 miles southwest of Atlanta might be the most golf-cart-friendly municipality in America. A hundred miles of car-free multi-use paths crisscross the town’s 25 square miles, and many shopping centers and public buildings provide dedicated golf cart parking

"A 2007 study from the UK's Lancaster University suggests that the golf cart paths of Peachtree City could help reduce transportation costs and alleviate the social isolation endemic to car-oriented suburban life."
