Selling the Value of Valet Service

Bike valet service is a novel concept in some communities, so it can be useful to rehearse explanations to help recruit allies:

Event Organizers

Managing parking is essential for any large-scale public event or highly trafficked destination; and a shortage of parking, or vocal concerns and complaints about the traffic impact of an event can shut it down completely. Given that a single car parking space can accommodate 10+ bikes, bike valet service can literally make an event possible.

Businesses

Bike valet service makes it easier for people to spend money in local shopping districts, by greatly reducing the mental, financial and time barriers to shoppers accessing those stores.

Local Governments

Bike valet improves the security and perceived safety of areas with frequent bike theft, boosts mode shift towards low carbon modes, reduces car congestion, and generates economic activity.
