The E-Vail Courier is a pilot program to test the effectiveness of removing oversized vehicles from Vail Village and replacing them with smaller electric delivery vehicles. The purpose is to reduce vehicles idling in the village center and return Vail Village to its original vision as a pedestrian core. The Vail Police Department has contracted with local logistics company, 106 West, to help facilitate the loading and delivery operations in Vail Village.

To all service vehicles seeking access to Vail Village:
Effective Oct. 18, 2021 - staging inside the Mountain Plaza Loading Dock and other loading docks servicing the Vail Village is restricted to Delivery vehicles. Any service vehicles needing access to Vail Village must be given access to an approved parking spot on private property or park in the Vail Village Parking Structure. Space to drop-off materials, supplies and work tools will be made available at Checkpoint Charlie so long as these stops take less than 5 minutes.

What is opendock.com & why is it being used?

Opendock.com was chosen because it is a simple web-based interface that both the vendors and the customers can access to see where their product is in the delivery supply chain. The status of the delivery is updated as the shipment comes in and the statuses are color-coded for ease of reference (example: in transit, arrived, delivered, delayed, etc). The vendors have a log-in and they will schedule their deliveries via the web-based interface for each of their delivery dates. Likewise, there will be a general login for the end customers so they can access the status screen as a view-only page to see where their product is in the delivery cycle.
