A 2012 study found that one third of parents spend between 10 and 49 hours driving their child around to their activities. Now in 2015, Oakland County native and Oakland University student Aireal Taylor has created a solution.

Taylor had to come up with her own product for an assignment in a class she was taking at Oakland Community College. After a brainstorm session with her husband, she came up with “Kidz Cab.”

Kidz Cab is a transportation service for parents who don’t have the time to drive their kids to various activities. Kidz Cab will take care of transporting children anywhere they need to go.

“I started thinking maybe I can do this in real life,” Taylor, founder and CEO said. She put those ideas to action and hosted the Kidz Cab launch event in Bloomer Park in West Bloomfield Township this past Saturday. The event served as her introduction to Oakland County, where she will begin her company’s service.

Maintaining their child’s safety is a big concern for parents. Kidz Cab has a variety of safety measures to ensure that parents are comfortable. Every vehicle is equipped with safety seats for any aged child. Parents won’t have to provide their own for their child either.

Kidz Cab is also using technology to ease parents’ concerns. Parents can monitor the trip with a real-time map and vehicle tracker and will receive a destination alert when their child reaches their designated stop.

“I think it’s going to benefit the adults in a huge way,” Taylor said. “One of my big taglines is ‘What will you do with your time?’ Many parents spend so much time in the car chauffeuring their kids around.”
