OK, but…candles are allowed , but do not leave any open flames unattended. When you leave your camp, put them out. Use caution in the placement to keep yourself and others safe. Consider other safer ways to light your camp like battery or solar powered light strings and lanterns.

Why is TTATC a pedestrian-only event?

The property TTATC is held on is not suited for motorized traffic during the event, as the paths are generally narrow, winding, and largely dark at night, and there are many blind corners and hidden intersections. There is simply not room for pedestrians AND motorized vehicles to navigate the event safely.

As a point of reference, Black Rock City has roads (not paths), which are 40′ wide, easily allowing for vehicle and pedestrian traffic in both directions simultaneously. TTATC has paths, that are typically 8-10′ wide, with some being less than 8′. Safely driving around people walking is challenging, at best.

Will this ever change?

There aren’t currently any plans to allow mutant vehicles at TTATC.

Why are some of our team leads allowed to have golf carts?

We do have a few golf carts for members of the lead team, as well as for some of our event services: medical, rangers, DPW etc. These are considered to be essential to the operation of the event, and are required to be operated safely and respectfully.

What about people-powered vehicles?

Anything that is non-motorized but has wheels (rickshaws etc) is allowed at the event.

Motorized vehicles are powered by anything other than people: gas engines, electric motors, donkeys and hamsters.
