NORMAL - Illinois State University hopes a new car-sharing program eventually will make for a greener, less car-congested campus.

The ISU-Hertz Car Sharing Initiative was unveiled Thursday during ISU's annual quad fall festival. The member-based program, which begins Oct. 1, makes four cars available for rent - for $8 per hour or $60 per day.

But it's not just another car rental service.

What makes a car-sharing program different, and why it is custom made for a campus environment, is its mission of making carpooling an easier option and its outreach to drivers 18- to 24-years old, who aren't traditionally eligible to rent cars, said Mike O'Grady, grounds operations and ISUs vehicle fleet.
