Idea: Disabled parking volunteer program

Any size town could start a program like this, maybe in cooperation with your senior citizens center. 
Drivers who depend on handicapped parking spaces know how frustrating it can be to circle a parking lot three or four times, waiting for a spot to open up, when one or more vehicles are parked illegally. While flattening tires, leaving nasty messages, and keying cars can offer some relief, there are better ways to handle careless drivers, turning frustration into action while educating the public in the process.
Perhaps the best and most effective action to take against violators in disabled parking is to join a local parking enforcement authority as a volunteer. The City of Houston’s Parking Management Division offers a Disabled Parking Volunteer Program “designed to ensure individuals whose needs require accessible parking spaces have those spaces available.”

Thanks for this wonderful piece. While I like the listed Sources of Business Ideas, the one I read about on http://www.entrepreneurshipsecret.com/sources-of-business-ideas is Customer Complaints.

I really prefer this to others in my country because since people are complaining about the present product or services they use, if one listen are give solutions to their complaints, it would help one achieve with less because the demand is waiting.
