Driveway Rentals For Parking
It would allow people to park near transit, when the parking lots are all ready full. Also, it could be used for special events. If this works, then it will reduce the amount of parking that a transit company needs to make. It would also increase ridership, and thus increase revenue for the transit companies The first target market would be the people near South Surrey Park And Ride. Many people are all ready interested in paying for parking, and then taking transit into town. This is evidenced by the overflow of parking. The $50,000 would be used for creating a web site and marketing. My friend said that he could make it for $40,000. I could help him with that. The remaining money would be used for marketing. The web site would match people with driveways to rent out and drivers in need of parking. Product placement could be used, by using descriptions of the driveways. Driveway owners could select from a drop down menu of driveway lengths. Small driveways might be listed as "SmartForTwo Length Driveway". Large driveways might be listed as "SUV Limosine Length Driveway". The owner might also offer FILO [first in; last out] at a cheaper rate to attract more renters. Ideal driveways are near bus routes that feed South Surrey Park And Ride, so that people will not have to walk far to get on transit. Members will be given a free trial, and after that, they will be charged an annual $1 membership fee. All fees will be used for web site upkeep and upgrades, and staff. Eventually, we will like to have people pay a small amount for each financial transaction. This all makes the city better, because it allows transit companies to focus more money on what they do best [offer transit], and because it allows the community to help itself out. It even has the potential to reduce traffic.
