i Go and CTA offer incentive in February
If you’ve been pondering a car-sharing membership, i-Go and the Chicago Transit Authority have a great deal during the month of February. Between now and February 29, people who sign up for a joint Chicago Card Plus I-GO cardfor use on the CTA and in I-GO Car Sharing vehicles will receive $50 in transit credit and a heavily discounted I-GO membership. The Chicago Card Plus I-GO card is the only one of its kind in the nation, allowing a seamless transfer between public transit and a car sharing vehicle. Participants can enroll online here.
“If you’ve been thinking about ditching your car and simplifying your life with transit and car sharing, there’s never been a better time to make the leap,” said Kathryn Tholin, director of Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT), which is administering the incentive program on behalf of Cook County. “Owning a car is expensive, a hassle, and can have a large carbon footprint. Using integrated transit and car sharing instead of owning a car is good for people’s budgets, stress levels, and the environment.”
i-Go currently has about 15 locations in the Edgewater/Andersonville area.
