Rhode Island hold onto to your meter change and get ready for a whole new parking experience! Spotter has launched in Providence and is revolutionizing the way we park! Whether you are commuting, day tripping, having a night out or just passing through…you are going to want this app. In addition, residents with parking spots that sit desolate all day can begin to make money off their spot. Here are the top 5 reasons Spotter is awesome (believe me, there are many more).
1 . Convenience- There is no denying that we live in a world where convenience is what we crave. The Spotter App creates a seamless parking experience. You simply download the app, search for a spot in the desired area, reserve and pay…BOOM, parking made easy by Spotter.
2. Flexibility- While we love things to be convenient, we tend to love them even more when they work in our favor. If you are running late you can easily add an hour to your parking spot. If you happen to finish early, release your spot and only pay for the time you were there. Gone are the days of rushing to the meter to add more time…or looking longingly at the lost change as you depart from your spot earlier than expected. Spotter works with your schedule and your wallet by only charging you for the hours you parked.
3. Passive Income- Imagine this, making money from your empty driveway as you go about your everyday doings. If you have a parking spot in Providence that is open at designated times throughout the day, you can sign your spot up to make money. Earn passive income through Spotter by signing up your residence or local organization. With Spotter, spot owners keep 80% of their profits and they get to enjoy being part of a sharing community.
4. Affordability- The price to park is $1 per hour and you only pay for the hours that you use. Local meter parking or set rate parking is more expensive and significantly more challenging. Once you download the app, you will link your account to either PayPal or a credit card and make for a flawless and affordable parking transaction.
5. The Mission– The mission, the heart of any business. It answers the question, why? Co-founders Albie Brown and Will Newman have an extraordinary mission that will give back to the community and the environment all while creating a stress free parking experience.
“Parking as we know it is broken. City streets are congested, curbside meters are expensive, and commercial lots are an inefficient use of limited real estate. According to a recent report, the hassle of parking can add as much as eight minutes onto a basic city commute, or over thirty-three hours a year. For every driver, that’s time that can be better spent – time shopping at local businesses, eating out with friends, and enjoying the charm of the community.
Our mission is simple: optimize the existing supply of private parking so that drivers can park faster, spot owners can share easier, and cities can scale smarter for the next generation of drivers. With the use of our mobile app, we aim to reduce noisy traffic on the streets and cut pollution created from circling the block. We hope to encourage daily productivity and inspire a more vibrant local economy. Here at Spotter, we dream of a world with a culture of sharing and a spirit of giving back – a world where we can begin turning parking lots back into lots of parks.” -Albie Brown and Will Newman
