Nextdoor Problem Statement—
_ Make a hack that brings people together and fosters connection within a community. _
We took a UX-driven approach to research, brand, and design a hack that can help people understand parking restrictions in different parts of a city.
Inspiration
17 HOURS/YEAR SPENT SEARCHING FOR PARKING SPOTS
According to a report by USA Today in 2017,
Nearly 42% of the motorists said they missed an appointment
34% abandoned a trip because of parking issues
23% experienced road rage
We conducted contextual inquiries during Technica 2018 to gather field data about issues faced by licensed car drivers in this audience.
What it does
Crowdsourced, Community-Driven Parking Solutions
Our Goals & Objectives
- Bring the neighborhood communities together
- Improve communication of parking restrictions to motorists

Alto is a community-driven, crowdsourced parking app that lets people know about parking restrictions in their city. It is powered by the people in a community to minimize parking issues in neighborhoods. When people find it easy to learn about parking restrictions in an area, they will feel motivated to contribute to their own locality.
