I-GO is a non-profit organization which operates a car sharing service in Chicago. I-GO has partnered with the City of Chicago, the Chicago Transit Authority along with many community and civic organizations. The organization was developed in 2002 by the Center for Neighborhood Technology. As of June 2006, I-GO has about 2,800 members and 80 cars available for use. Cars are located in 20 Chicago neighborhoods. Members pay a one-time $50 fee, and a $25 annual renewal fee. Then they are billed monthly for their use of I-GO cars based on time of use and miles driven. The standard rate is $6.00 per hour and $.50 per mile, although many other plans exist, including a $8.25 an hour plan with free miles. Car models available for use include: Honda Civic, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Element, and Prius. I-GO members can save up to $3000-4000 a year by combining transit service with car sharing instead of owning a car.[1] I-GO has a franchise agreement with Flexcar allow for use of their technology, in addition to allowing members of each other's service to use each other's vehicles.
