We were ecstatic when I-GO Sales and Marketing Associate, Melissa Haeffner, emailed CNT staff with the subject heading, “200th I-GO member signed up today!”

Since its 2002 startup, I-GO has been steadily acquiring new members each month. And July marks the first time in their history to have 200 members sign up in just one month. I-GO is also quickly traveling the road to signing up its 3000th member.

It makes perfect sense that an innovative program like car-sharing is really picking up steam in a time that we constantly hear about rising gas prices. I-GO CEO Sharon Feigon points out, “Our program really makes it possible for people to get around without owning a car. There are a lot of smart people in Chicago who have realized that they can save a lot of money - thousands of dollars annually - and avoid high gas prices, by being an I-GO member”.

We think car-sharing is the wave of the future. And the present. I-GO’s successes have proven that residents in the Chicagoland area are taking notice and joining up in record numbers. Check out I-GO’s website and jump on the bandwagon, or the low-emissions car as the case may be!
