What if this model was applied to delivery apps?

To address safety issues (bc of drivers) my kids’ school recently changed the pick up process to get rid of the car pick up line entirely.
Caregivers have to park nearby & walk up to the blacktop to get their kids.
It’s calmer, safer, and bikes can still roll right up onto the blacktop.
