(1) The selected opportunity I have chosen is the lack of a bus system for soldiers and their families on a military installation. Without any form of public transportation, it makes it extremely difficult for soldiers who don't have a car or their families to get around.
(2) The service I will be providing is a bus system that will transport soldiers, their families and DOD civilians across post. This bus system will have a few different buses that travel to different areas of the base. There will be multiple bus stops with them conveniently located near neighborhoods and common areas. I plan to have multiple ways for these people to use this service such as soldiers having the ability to "opt-in" to this service and have a payment directly taken from their paycheck, similar to their BAS (food) that is taken out bi-weekly. This will give these people who "opt-in" unlimited passes to use this bus system. There will be no penalties to cancel this service and will continue to be a resource for everyone on post. There will also be an opportunity for people to pay per use.
Hey Heather. It has been great to keep up with your passionate idea for implementing a bus system on military bases. This is something I was unfamiliar with until you helped shine a light on the lack of transportation provided for families and people on the bases, not to mention the amount of people that this could benefit. I was wondering if the base had the "city bikes" for use or rent or the electronic scooters there? This could be good too for getting around the base in short term travel.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! I think your opportunity has great potential to work. It seems like it is something that is not too hard to implement and the idea for an "opt in" option is great. Overall, I think any way that we could help out our soldiers is a great idea. I do not know much about soldiers on a military installation but it seems like you do. Good job
