July is Independent Retailer Month, a time when consumers are encouraged to support small businesses and recognize the important role they play in the community, economy, and retail industry. U-Haul is able to do this every day through the U-Haul Dealer Network, a key part of the company's business model since 1945. When small businesses join the U-Haul Dealer Network, they can maintain their independence while dedicating some of their lot space for U-Haul equipment and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their community. To all the small businesses a part of the Dealer Network, thank you! Read more: https://lnkd.in/du4zgn-w

Managing Director Public Non-Profit Solutions, Streetsense; Former New York City Planning Commissioner
I frequently work with business owners. Like many of us, they too bring their biases to the table. It is not uncommon, for example, for business owners to project their own travel habits onto others - i.e. since they drive to their business that is how most of their customers arrive at their business too. We sometimes peg this as "me-search". Having completed hundreds of customer surveys along "Main Street" environments over the course of my nearly 30 year career, I find it is more common than not for business owners to get the ratio of how many customers arrive by which mode of transportation wrong. That said, we recently worked in a district where long-time business owners were skeptical of bike lanes and resisted the elimination of parking in front of their businesses. they had a right to their concern. These stores were dependent on older, legacy customers with established habits of driving and whose growing mobility constraints no longer allowed them to walk long distances, much less ride a bike! For these businesses, changes in accessibility options fueled by demographic shifts mean that absent changes to their business model, they would eventually be forced to close. Retail is a hard business and requires evolution.
In Vox, I explained why small business owners consistently overstate the share of customers who drive, undercounting those who bike, walk, or ride transit. Merchants' pro-car bias leads them to fight urgently needed policies like NYC congestion pricing as well as dedicated lanes for bikes and buses -- moves that could boost their bottom line. https://lnkd.in/ebHDBFSJ

''In study after study in city after city around the world, researchers have found that merchants exaggerate the share of patrons who arrive by car and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Those misperceptions lead them to oppose transportation reforms that would limit the presence of cars and make urban neighborhoods cleaner, more pleasant, and less polluted — and would likely increase spending at their business, too.'' That is exactly what has been happening on Kruisstraat in Gemeente Eindhoven for years! Because of a handful of shop owners, pedestrians and bike users of Kruisstraat are allowed be terrorized by drivers for last 7 years! Municipalities should do what is right instead of listening the unfounded fears of show owners! #eindhoven #eindhovencity GroenLinks Eindhoven #fietsstraat Fietsersbond #trafficmanagement

😳 "We've been doing it this way for over 20 years and I suppose it is old fashioned." Only 20 years? We've heard longer! Demo feedback today from a small business that helps a school organise transport, taking payment manually via direct bank transfers, printing out passes and zero data about journeys or passengers. 😌 "It's not as daunting as what I'd thought it would be. It's simple really!" After doing something for so long we can appreciate how scary it can be to even contemplate doing it another way. But once you see it in action, it's an obvious game changer. Another client signed up ready for September 💪 As set up time takes just one day to start issuing or selling bus passes, there is PLENTY of time to find out more about ShuttleID for 2024/25.

"𝗪𝗲'𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘆" - They call it the most dangerous phrase in business and we heard a slight variation of that earlier today. Schools and transport operators that have been doing something for so long, often don't realise just how difficult they have made it not only for themselves but for parents and students too. Managing school transport should be simple and it can be! But by barely moving processes on since the previous century (no exaggeration) schools and operators are unknowingly: 💸 Losing revenue and funds through fraud/missed payments and inefficient vehicle utilisation 🤬 Frustrating parents and students with lack of real time information and awful user experiences ⏳ Wasting countless hours on thankless tasks such as printing passes and manually taking payments 🦺 Risking student safety by not accurately knowing who should be on the bus vs who actually is on the bus One quick demo is all you need to see exactly how ShuttleID would be a game changer for your school bus service. ✅ It's simple ✅ It's affordable ✅ It's quick to set up (1 day) For more info check out https://shuttleid.uk or call us on 0333 344 9868.
