We need a new kind of shuttle

We can all agree that as BM grows so will vehicle traffic. What we need most is to have less vehicle on the playa and the ideal way to do that is to get more people to burning man without their vehicle. The main blocker to doing this is that people need to bring a lot of "stuff" to survive in the desert and it has to arrive on the playa somehow. For the mass majority it doesn't make sense to use the burner shuttle and even those people usually has someone else trucking in their stuff.

WHAT WE NEED

We need a place around Gerlach where burners can opt to park their vehicles and utilize a shuttle service composed of large moving trucks which can transport them and a large quantity of "stuff" they plan to bring in to the event. This way people can truck what they need most of the way then park a few miles away from the event where the traffic can be handled easier and have their stuff trucked in the last few miles.


Does anyone think this could work? Would you use a service like this to get to the burn?

Additional thoughts...
It might be possible to position the parking area on another part of the playa so that the moving trucks could simply ride across the playa to get to the event. (However I am not sure about the regulations regarding where official vehicles can drive. They might not be able to drive outside the event area)
