Zipcar, the car sharing program that offers an alternative to car ownership, has exceeded its minimum guaranteed revenue before planned.
The program was backed financially by Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, the City of Champaign, the City of Urbana and the University of Illinois.
Zipcar was under a three year contract and will release its partners from their financial duties.
“We wanted to bring a car sharing program to Champaign-Urbana to increase mobility on and off campus,” Jay Rank of MTD said.
He said the Zipcar added four cars because of its success, which makes their fleet come to a total of 10 cars.
