It is the policy of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo to accommodate the use of mobility devices by Stock Show visitors with mobility disabilities, subject to the following rules.

People with disabilities who use manual or power wheelchairs or scooters and manually-powered mobility aids such as walkers, crutches, and canes are allowed in all facilities and areas within the Stock Show Grounds where members of the public are allowed to go.

People with disabilities who use power-driven mobility devices (such as Segways, golf cars, or other mobility devices powered by batteries, fuel or other engines) are allowed in all areas within the Stock Show Grounds where members of the public are allowed to go, unless a particular type of power-driven mobility device cannot be accommodated in a particular area because of legitimate safety risks.

Safety risks require that the following rules apply to the use of power-driven mobility devices by persons with mobility disabilities:
• Persons wishing to use a power-driven mobility device on the Stock Show Grounds must be prepared to provide credible assurance that the person is using the device due to a mobility disability.
• No mobility devices powered by fuel or combustion engines are allowed in any indoor facilities, including any livestock barns, or in any areas near livestock bedding, feed, or other combustible material.
• Golf cars and other multi-passenger mobility devices may be used to bring the disabled visitor and persons accompanying him or her from Stock Show parking areas to designated storage locations near the entrances to buildings and enclosed facilities. However, golf cars are not allowed inside any buildings or enclosed facilities on the Stock Show Grounds.
• Golf cars used by persons with mobility disabilities must not exceed 100 inches in length or 50 inches in width.
• A mobility device may not be operated at a speed greater than the speed of pedestrian traffic.
• The Stock Show reserves the right to prohibit the use of power-driven mobility devices in any area within the Stock Show Grounds if Stock Show personnel reasonably determine that the use in that area causes a legitimate safety concern for the disabled patron or for other persons or livestock in the vicinity of the mobility device. In those instances, the Stock Show will use reasonable efforts to provide a storage location for the mobility device and to accommodate the mobility impaired visitor in alternate ways.
