we did it and the city finally agreed to hold off on those restrictions until a real study is done. i cant believe how many of you stepped up to keep these rides moving. lets keep an eye on things to make sure the process stays fair for everyone.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION REQUESTING FOR A DELAY OF MINUTES TO PRESERVE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR LOW SPEED VEHICLES
Final supporters
On November 17, 2016, the Transportation and Licensing Commission (TLC) will enact a new regulation that prohibits mass transit by Street Legal Golf Carts (LSV’s) Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00am-9:30am CST and 4:00pm-6:30pm CST BEFORE a traffic study has been performed on LSV’s. We at Joyride believe this is an unfair act and are asking you to sign this petition to delay the regulation until the traffic study has been completed and an informed decision has been made.
Here is some additional information Joyride would like to share with you:
- Joyride has facilitated over 1.2 million rides since 2013
- We received over 122,962 calls this year
- 42% of all of our calls have been during the hours of 7:00am-9:30am and 4:00pm-6:30pm
- Joyride is the last mile for mass transit for Buses and the train station
- Every city that has done a study on LSV’s has showed an improvement in transit
- Joyride has over 350 full/part time drivers currently employed
- Joyride has the best safety record of any transportation option in Nashville
- Average speed of downtown traffic is 16 mph and our vehicles max out at 25 mph but our recorded average is 16.3 mph
- We transport hundreds of workers daily from parking garages to their place of employment in downtown Nashville.
PLEASE HELP US AND SIGN THIS PETITION REQUESTING FOR A DELAY OF MINUTES TO PRESERVE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR LOW SPEED VEHICLES UNTIL AN INCLUSIVE TRAFFIC STUDY IS COMPLETED ON LOW SPEED VEHICLES BY THE CITY OF NASHVILLE.
We the undersigned:
1) Oppose the restricted hours of operation between 7:00am-9:30am cst / 4:00pm-6:30pm cst, Monday through Friday
2) We ask that an inclusive traffic study is completed individually for the LSV industry before the restricted hours of operation are enacted on November 17, 2016.
3) We ask Nashville to recognize the difference between the Low Speed Vehicle Industry “LSV” aka: Street Legal Golf carts (Joyride, Cruzzin’, Hee Haulin & Happy Ride) versus the Slow Moving Vehicle Industry “SLV” (Pedal Bars, Horse Drawn Carriages & Pedicabs)
Thank you.

I've never used the service but it is only fair a study is conducted before putting people out of work. Especially considering the city is slow moving to solve the mass transit problem in our great city.
As a former driver for Joyride and downtown Nashville employee I feel this is unfair. I had no issues with traffic, city congestion, local police, ir customers. Everyone loved the service provided and had a great experience. I see no reason why this action should be imposed which is why I'm happy to sign this petition.
These vehicles provide a vital service for commuters who take the train or bus, or have parking a distance from their workplace! Without expanded public transit, this type of service plays a role in decreasing downtown congestion.
If this city is really serious about encouraging the use of mass transit it seems to me that this service is a critical last step in getting people to their final destination.
My husband and I live andcwork downtown. We use Joyride multiple times a week. Since the day it started. Early mornings, and afternoons too. I have personally referred hundreds of people to Joyride, or requested for my customers. Lift the ban!!!
This is a good service that not only people from Nashville use daily, but also alot of tourist use when they visit our fine city. Think you should rethink this...
Why would you regulate this out of existence when you have a massive failure in the current mass transit system going on?

Please don't stifle small Business and innovation by passing regulation without studying its full impact. This will kill jobs and will slow down productivity for many downtown business as their workers would now have to find alternate last mile resources to get to work.
