Strategy and Implementation Summary

To facilitate increased sales at Oregon State University, the shuttle will pick up and deliver customers in front of the university's bookstore on campus.
To increase ridership with high-tech companies, Valley Airporter will offer the round-trip fare package of $60 when a company purchases 10 or more round-trip tickets in advance.

Market Analysis Summary

There are a number of environmental factors that create an increasing demand for shuttle services between Corvallis and Portland International Airport. 
  • The city of Portland has the states only international airport.  The regional airport in Eugene (50 miles south of Corvallis) has flights to Portland but those flights cost more than the shuttle service from Corvallis.
  • The city of Corvallis has experienced tremendous growth during the past three years.  Enrollment at Oregon State University is up 20%.  More importantly, the city is home to a number of high-tech businesses that serve an international market.
  • The cost of long-term parking has gone up 20% at Portland International Airport. The cost is now 10$ a day.

2.1 Company Ownership

Bob and Mary Wilson are co-owners of Valley Airporter.

2.2 Company History

In April 1998, three 14-passenger vans were converted to 11-passenger vans with rear luggage area and Valley Airporter began. Valley Airporter plans to travel over 2,000 miles per day, transporting over 20,000 passengers.
To accommodate those passengers, we plan to purchase three brand new 20-passenger replacement buses. All buses are equipped with seat belts and high back reclinable seats for comfort and safety. The schedule has continually expanded over the years from three times a day weekdays only, to ten trips each weekday and nine trips on Saturday and Sunday, 365 days per year.






Executive Summary

This year Valley Airporter plans to transport over 20,000 passengers. To accommodate those passengers, we plan to purchase three brand new 20-passenger buses to replace older 14-passenger buses.
The new buses are needed because of the expansion of airport service. The schedule has continually expanded over the years from three times a day, Monday through Friday only, to ten trips each weekday and nine trips on Saturday and Sunday, 365 days per year.
Valley Airporter operates out of Corvallis which is home to Oregon State University.  Over 18,000 thousand students attend the university.  In addition, there are over 120 high-tech businesses in Corvallis.  Though there is a small airport in Corvallis and a regional airport in Eugene (50 miles south of Corvallis), most travelers prefer to use the Portland International Airport, which is 70 miles north of Corvallis.
Bob and Mary Wilson, co-owners of Valley Airporter, will invest in the purchase of the new vans.  The owners will also secure a long-term commercial loan.
