Grow Verde and local city officials have struck a tentative verbal agreement to pilot a Eco-Alternative transport program called Vespa sharing. Testers will be required to submit a drivers license and agree to a driving background check. once qualified testers will be required to pay a $35 activation fee for personal accounts, $45 for business accounts (up to 15 employees). The monthly fee is waived for the early adopters and a credit card will be required for usage rates that are 20-35% lower than the normal rates once launched. testers will be responsible for giving the city and Grow Verde feedback on the reservation system and ease of use. During the pilot testers will also provide feedback on services and or locations that should be added once the system goes live.
Grow Verde is a local company that has transitioned from scooter rentals to tourist. They now are providing municipalities with a scalable addition to a transit infrastructure at little or no cost to the city. Started in 2006 Grow Verde grew from a small rental company catering to the 4-5 star hotel properties into a carbon reducing leader. Each Vespa saves 3.00925 TONS of CO2 each hour it is used. This opens the door to a Carbon credit program that can benefit the city and it's locals. The over all goal is to create enough carbon credits from the usage that the already low monthly fee is reduced to ZERO! and members only pay for what they use!
If you would like to be considered as a tester please submit your info to Info@GrowVerde.com and in the subject line put "I WANNA BE A TESTER!"
