As a follow-up to our meeting in November regarding the new Miami Resident Vehicular
Protection Program (MVP), we are pleased to announce that we are moving forward with
the program and plan to implement it beginning February 1, 2005. A press release is
being prepared that will be sent to various mega outlets on that day, us well. I have also
attached a sample application for your review.
As you know, the MVP Program will allow residents of the City of Mimi to register
their vehicles and park in an assigned Miami Parking Authority (MPA) garage during a
hurricane or natural disaster at no cost. Residents will be able to register on-line at our
website (www.riam;iparking cam) or download an application and send it to us directly.
In return, once the application is completed, we will issue them a decal that they will
display to enter an MPA garage once a hurricane watch is issued.
Ow current plan is to follow-up this letter to you with a supply of applications for each of
the NET offices. Please let us know how many applications you would like us to send to
you for distribution. Residents can pick up the application at your offices and send it to
us directly. The NET offices will function as another point of contact and service for
implementation of the MVP Program. In addition, if you have computer access at the
NET offices, residents can fill out the application on-line or download the application at
your offices, as well, and further expedite the process.
We will be creating some additional collateral material to advertise this new service, as
well as promote the MVP Program more fully as hurricane season approaches. We
appreciate the NET's assistance in getting the word out regarding the MVP program and
for helping us to disseminate information and applications.
