Cook County Shared Fleet Program Saves Taxpayers $250,000

Cook County's Shared Car program, which has been in progress for one year, has already saved taxpayers approximately $250,000 according to county officials. The Shared Car program is the latest of several government transportation programs supported by Zipcar throughout Illinois, including programs at the state, city and county levels. The program, which decreases employee vehicle costs and travel reimbursements, complemented Cook County's existing fleets by providing access to car sharing for employees, and optimized their existing fleet with Zipcar's FastFleet technology.
