===Transportation=== ====Golf carts==== [[File:City Hall Dogwoods and Golf Cart.jpg|thumb|250x250px|A golf cart in Peachtree City]] Peachtree City has a system of [[golf cart]] paths which spider across the town and provide a secondary means of access to almost any destination within city limits. These multi-use paths stretch for more than {{convert|90|mi}} throughout the city. Many places of business have specially designated golf cart parking spaces. The Peachtree City Police Department has several golf carts used to patrol along these paths.<ref>"Peachtree City, GA – Official Website – Paths & Golf Carts." Peachtree City, GA – Official Website. Web. 23 Aug. 2010. <http://www.peachtree-city.org/index.aspx?nid=216>.</ref> Over 10,000 households own a golf cart, and use them as an extra vehicle for local transportation.<ref>{{cite news |title=Electric Cars Rule Ga.

Those who are fifteen or older, with either a valid Georgia learner's permit or a full driver's license, are allowed to operate golf carts alone. Students at [[McIntosh High School]] are encouraged to drive family golf carts to school because of limited car parking. In 2015, [[Starr's Mill High School]] opened a golf-cart specific lot. The golf cart paths are also used by cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians as a safer alternative to the side of the road. In February 2003, ''[[Golf Digest]]'' magazine discussed the traffic congestion caused by the use of golf carts in the city.<ref>Kapriske, Ron. "Golf Cart Gridlock". ''Golf Digest'' (February 2003)</ref> ====Airports==== [[Atlanta Regional Airport]], also known as Falcon Field, is a [[general aviation]] airport that provides chartered air service. Since 1987, it has grown from having about 60 aircraft based at the airport to about 165. The runway is {{convert|5220|ft}} long and holds up to {{convert|60000|lb}} of aircraft. It mainly serves Peachtree City's business residents, but also serves as a place of entertainment for people interested. There is a viewing area provided for the public to watch aircraft take-off and land. The airport hosts many events throughout the year, including the Great Georgia Air Show during October.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Events |url=https://atlantaregionalairport.com/events/ |access-date=2025-04-29 |website=Atlanta Regional Airport |language=en-US}}</ref> The airport is the location of a [[National Weather Service]] radar station, Southeast River Forecast Center,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weather.gov/serfc|title=Southeast RFC|website=Weather.gov|access-date=July 11, 2018}}</ref> and Weather Forecast Office,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weather.gov/ffc|title=Peachtree City, GA|website=Weather.gov|access-date=July 11, 2018}}</ref> which serves 96 counties in northern and central Georgia. [[Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]] provides commercial service and is located {{convert|25|mi}} northeast of Peachtree City via [[Georgia State Route 74]] and [[Interstate 85]].
