Perhaps some contact with Virginia's Public Officials would change their minds about it. They may just not know enough about them: to classify them properly.

The state officials are the first ones I contacted. However their "hands are tied" according to the Virginia State Law.
Code of Virginia section 46.2-916.1 prohibits golf carts on public highways
Code of Virginia sections 46.2916.2 and 4602-916.3 describes limitations on golf cart and utility vehicle operations on public highways. Section 46.2-677 addresses self propelled wheelchairs being prohibited on a public highway. All of these sections are kinda ambiguous when dealing with state parks.
However, the ADA law states differently and much more clearly that reasonable accommodations are to the made.
