AMI Help Request
Monday, June 09, 2008
AMI needs your help. We're conducting a parking survey so we can guide our members on how many parking spaces should be required at a marina. We are looking for marina operators who have a designated parking lot on their property that is not shared by any other business.
Volunteers must be willing to conduct a survey of their marinas on three separate days this summer, at three times of day. The survey tool will be in a simple online check-box format and should be easy to complete. All we require is for you, or someone on your team, to count boats and cars at your marina. The first survey will be July 4th.
We will base our final report on the actual number of boaters who use a marina, rather than estimates. This information will allow us to shape national and state policies that affect the number of required parking spaces at marinas. We hope the final document will help you as you plan future facility expansions.
To make the study results credible we need as many marinas as possible to take part in this survey, so please consider getting involved. Participants will receive complimentary copies of the completed study, while those who don't contribute data will be able to purchase copies of the study through the Association of Marina Industries.
If you are interested in helping with this important study, please email or call Wendy Larimer at wlarimer@marinaassocation.org or 202/350-9623. Please provide your name, email address and phone number.
