Illinois contracts with Zipcar for state employees

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) on Wednesday said it launched a program with the car sharing service Zipcar Inc. for state employees in Chicago and Springfield.

Zipcar, which is based in Cambridge, Mass., will give state employees access to nearly 500 of its vehicles in Chicago. As part of the contract, Zipcar will add a new fleet of four vehicles in Springfield — two near the Amtrak station and two by the State Capitol Complex.

In July, the state negotiated a $6-per-hour rate until April of 2013 for up to 180 miles, with an additional 25 cents-per-mile charge for every mile after that, said Alka Nayyar, a spokeswoman for CMS. The contract could be extended for four more years.
