Volunteer shuttle
PARK WATCH SHUTTLE
Park Watch operates an electric 3-wheeled cargo vehicle to support our growing network of litter bins along Barton Springs Rd. (Shuttle).
SHUTTLE DRIVERS NEEDED
To operate the Shuttle, Park Watch is seeking volunteer Shuttle Drivers who are 18+ years of age with a valid Texas Driver’s License (TDL) and a good driving record.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Because Shuttle Drivers are required to empty full litter bins, they must be able to lift a MINIMUM of fifty pounds (50lbs) over their heads.
To volunteer as a Shuttle Driver, contact shuttle@parkwatch.net.
Volunteer transport
The Shuttle can also transport volunteers who wish to serve our community, but don’t have the means to do so or need to access areas which are inconvenient, difficult or impossible to reach by automobile.
NO PERMIT Required
Paul Baldwin, City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department, Mobility Services Division, (512) 974-1438, paul.baldwin@austintexas.gov, has confirmed that Park Watch Inc does NOT require Operating Authority to transport volunteers for free.
SHUTTLE STATIONS
Every Park Watch litter bin in our network is a designated volunteer pick-up location (Shuttle Station).
SCHEDULED PICK-UPS
To schedule a ride, volunteers simply select “Request Pick-Up” on the Home page and indicate the location, date and time they wish to be picked up.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED
There is NO guarantee that the Shuttle will be available. Pick-Ups are handled on a “First Come, First Served” basis.
FLEXIBLE PICK-UP LOCATIONS
So long as it’s safe to do so, volunteers are free to board an EMPTY Shuttle at any time or location.
NO DONATION REQUIRED
Park Watch provides FREE transportation within our Service Area to ANYONE who volunteers to cleanup our community. No donation required.
GRAB BARS
Because the Shuttle is equipped with grab bars, Seniors and physically impaired volunteers will find they can enter and exit the vehicle with ease.
LIABILITY WAIVER &
BINDING ARBITRATION
By selecting “Request Pick-Up”, Shuttle riders agree to hold Park Watch Inc, its volunteers, employees and officers harmless for any personal injury which may arise from their ride and agree to Binding Arbitration to resolve all disputes.
