  2. What Is The Problem? · One of the most common complaints at UTD is parking. · If students do not arrive early, it is very difficult to find a spot. · Not only is parking an issue, but getting around campus on foot is a very tedious process.

  3. What do the Students Think? ·We recently surveyed 50 UTD students, asking them how satisfied they were with the current parking situation on campus. · A startling 58% of UTD Students surveyed were not satisfied with parking.

  4. Why does the problem exist? · Constructing new parking lots is very expensive. · The student body at UTD is growing at a very rapid rate. · At UTD, there is a high amount of commuters. This translates into a large amount of traffic everyday on campus.

  10. Strengths ∙ We are the only Bike Rental Service on the UTD Campus, no direct competition. ∙ Our system is simple and user-friendly. It’s designed to make the transactionfast, allowing our customers to get on there way. ∙We only offer one type of bicycle. This prevents any potential hassles when selecting a bicycle. ∙ Our business is exposed to a large group of potential customers. The UTD student body is approximately 20, 000 people. Rental accounts are linked to UTD Student Accounts, providing theft prevention.

  11. Weaknesses ∙ Not all students are comfortable riding bicycles . ∙ While we feel that our streamline selection process will speed up the transactions, some of our customers prefer having a wide selection of bicycles. ∙ Customers will have limited interaction with an actual person (Automated Rental Stations), some people prefer face-to-face transactions. ∙ The bicycles are maintinence intensive. They will have to be inspected regularly for flat tires, faulty breaks, broken seats etc.

  12. Opportunities ∙ Major college campuses across the world could benefit from a system like “Rush”. The opportunity for growth is great.

  13. Threats ∙ UTD does offer buses, and shuttles. ∙ Some students already have bicycles, which lowers our potential amount of customers. Of the students surveyed, 21% already owned a bicycle.
