Mission:

To reduce car ownership rates, lower transportation costs, reduce urban congestion, improve air quality throughout the metropolitan area, promote hybrid and electric vehicle usage, and partner with other sustainable transit providers and advocates.

Hybrids comprise about half of I-GO's fleet, but all of our vehicles are fuel-efficient, low-emission cars. In April 2009, I-GO also converted two Priuses to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. We hope to add many more plug-ins and, when available and feasible, 100% electric vehicles as well.
