indi oates that membership fee $1,000 to $500
plus weekly fee Of $3.50 would adequately supply
the financial requ rements under sny Of the three
following methods Of obtaining the necessary vei-
c1es.
II By purchase from local dealers - the most
expensive way but not out Of reach Of q $500
membership Zee and the anticipated operating
revenue.
~ By cash purchase at DIS count through
direct loan from some sponsoring agency.
81 By lease arrang ement with interested organ
isation requiring the least financial outlay
and offering the most economical terms on vhtch
to obtain the ven cles.
Both Of the latter two arrangements have BEEN
discussed informally with such sponsoring groups.
We have at present the opinion Of Mr. Evans
Nce-President Of Consumer stri butt on Corporati on
and Of expert enced legal in Washington that
there would be legal obstacles to such coopera-
tive orgni cations operating trans portati on SER
vice for its members. Detai information on in-
corporation. taxes. licenses and insurance Is not
yet liable.
An important feature is that to initiate the SER
vice. one wagon only would be required, this to be
purchased when the requi rement Of full passenger
load subscribed members had been met. Addi ona1
wagons would be purchased a membership grew and
based above requirement. Of full passenger load
before mourning obli cations for such purchased

Tt is anticipated that such venture would be
entire Independent OF the in pro-

Sub-Comh ttee Cooperative
Greenbelt cooperator., 1939-06-22

cooperative Transportation
Green5elt Citizens Association
1t should not be necessary to say a gathering
OF Greenbelters that the cooperative way or method
whenever the consumer is the iuedi purchaser Of
the service or conmod ty. It is believed that the
transportation service between Greenbelt and Wash
ington is no exception to this rule.
The recent studies Of this sub-ccumi ttee confirm
end develop rather than depart from tho ideas ex-
pressed in preliminary way at the special meeting
Of the held April S, 1885, Just pr to
abandonment of the through bus service supplied by
Capital Transit Company.
Basica1ly. and a1istica1ly facing the present
situation in Greenbe1t, any Transportation SER
vice must include the following elements to be sue
cessfu1.
y Service travel time less or no greater
than that required prior to April 7, and dis
charge In Washington at reasonably close to
place Of employment to eliminate the val
ue Of the transfer privilege need Of ssne.
q Economy q weekly cost in Of $3.50
to $1.75 would represent too large proportion
Of income to comrand the patronage Of residents
Of this community.
81 Staying power such service must not re-
quire 1medi ate1y heave patronage to continue
operating.
The studies made by your Transportation Committee
end this Subcommittee have resulted conc1u-
sion that cooperative service could include all
these element and would include them If built
round the small unit or group type Of transportation,
Will ch Is now presented for your consideration.
Initial1y, only rush hour service is proposed--
six round trips per week. this limited to assure
regular patronage and dependable income.
The vehicle proposed is the stati wagon Of nine
or ten passenger capacity. In order to accommodate
small groups Of members respect hours places
Of employment and minimum travel time.
Economy, than suff ci ent to balance the pro-
porionate1y higher operating cost Of the small unit,
would be attained through volunteer driving.
As demonstrating the feasibility Of group trens-
portations would cite the fact that approximately
76% Of employed residents Of Greenbe1t work for the
federal district governments. which that
nearly $50 persons are employed within few rela-
lively small in Washington. They could there-
fore be easily grouped with respect to hours and
place Of employment and routes could be scientifi
ca1ly planned for maximum service at minimum Of
travel time.
Three examples to show the possibilities for
vend emit and quick transportation given below.
