      We hope to update this list weekly, so be sure to check our site regularly to see where you stand. As it did for our team, we hope this group will serve as proof that other people like you believe in the system and are GIVING. Roadify has now received nearly 2,000 GETS so your GIVES truly are helping others! And as we increase our user-base beyond 900, more people are becoming GIVERS, increasing the likelihood of you GETTING spots that are valuable to you. Remember- the more you GIVE, the more you GET!

    *New CARma Points System/Rewards* 

    If you haven’t noticed already, we recently began a new points system to reward more difficult/valuable GIVES with more points! The best part is we will never subtract points from you when you GET!

    (B/c buses are easier to find than parking spots, and advanced gives are more valuable than open spots)

    PAM:

    • 5 points for an advanced GIVE
    • 3 points for an on the spot GIVE
    • 1 point if someone claims your GIVEN spot

    BAM:

    • 1 point every time you GIVE
    • 1 point every time someone sees your Roadify Report
    • (we encourage you to give multiple times on the same bus to keep our Report as accurate as possible)

    Rewards/Incentives System:

    • We will now begin rewarding our Top Givers of EACH week with gift certificates to local establishments, MTA/Gas Cards, and Roadify Gear!
    • Keep your GIVES up to find out more…

    Newest Video Showcasing the Street Team and Park Slope 

    Here’s the link to a great video made by a friend of the team. Not only does it illustrate what our guys on the streets are up to everyday, but some of the scenery around our home neighborhood of Park Slope is fantastic. If you like what you see make sure to rate it 5 stars on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLiQ0TmrOc4

    The Snow Can’t Stop Us 

    BEFORE

    BEFORE

    AFTER

    AFTER

    Here at Roadify headquarters we decided to take matters into our own hands yesterday. After a week of horrendous snow we noticed many available parking spots were covered in snow, leaving them useless. Well, that’s just not acceptable! We had our Street Team out and about shoveling snow, and GIVING spots they cleared for others. Sometimes a little help can go a long way. GIVE those spots Park Slope!

    “ROOM for Improvement” by Bassnote 

    Here are some examples of “Thoughtless Parking” which happened to occur on the SAME street. Each petit violation resulted in a parking spot lost further up the block.  It’s simple, folks need to park closer to the corners, driveways, and all the way up to the stop line (not the cross-walk line).  Many cross-walk lines are cut short to indicate that a car may use the space to park all the way up to the stop-line.  Anyone have an idea on how to remind people to look around their car after they park and take care that they are parked correctly? A little extra care could create dozens more spots around P.S.!thoughtless-crosswalk thoughtless- crosswalk thoughtless-driveway

    A message from a GIVER: Be a friendly parker, please. 

    Hi, my PAM avatar is Bassnote. I’m an avid user of Roadify and find myself in your top ten givers. I love what you are doing and support it whenever I can.

    I wonder if there is a way, possibly through you guys, to educate people a little bit on “friendly parking”. So often we lose spots in the slope by people not doing they’re best to park with others in mind. The biggest issue for me is the corners and the hydrants. People don’t park close enough, leaving valuable usable space that ends up wasted. So often you see a place where there might have been room for another car or even two but the person parked 18 feet away from a hydrant or 7 feet away from a corner.

    It just takes a little forethought as to how the next person is going to park to make more spots available for all of us. Sometimes it just takes a second to get out of the car and see if you can park a little closer to the corner, or a hydrant (12ft away of course) or another car to make a usable space for another driver.

    Thanks,
    Bassnote

    ***It’s a simple thing to take a second to make sure someone else can park too. We are working to get Jason’s ideas onto the website permanently but wanted to be sure to let everyone hear ‘em ASAP.

      Hi, I just signed up for this after seeing a postcard. I also saw it on the news a while back – it’s a great idea. I just wanted to mention to Pam that I agree with your comments but the required distance from a hydrant is 15 feet not 12 feet. I think people err on the side of caution near hydrants to avoid tickets.
