Stated mission
I-GO’s stated mission was to reduce car ownership rates, decrease transportation costs, reduce urban congestion, and improve air quality in Chicago. It focuses on a convenient and economic way to commute without having to own a car and to reduce vehicle miles travelled and greenhouse gas emissions.
Operations
I-GO had cars located in approximately 30 Chicago neighborhoods. I-GO members reserved a vehicle online or by calling its customer service. Members could also create and modify their reservations using smartphones. Once a reservation had been created, the member accesses the reserved car using a member card. As of June 2009, I-GO had more than 12,000 members and 185 cars available for use.
The average fuel efficiency of I-GO's fleet was 35 miles per gallon, and the fleet was composed of low-emission vehicles. Approximately 40% of the fleet were hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
I-GO added the first two plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to its fleet of vehicles in April 2009 as a result of a joint effort with electricity provider ComEd.
Partnerships
I-GO had strategic partnerships and alliances with government offices, local businesses, as well as other non-profits and independent car sharing organizations. Among others, I-GO worked closely with the Chicago Transit Authority, City of Chicago and Chicago Park District. Businesses such as Whole Foods and Dominick's provided parking spaces dedicated to I-GO cars, and I-GO also worked with universities, including Northwestern University, University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, DePaul University, University of Illinois at Chicago and Illinois Institute of Technology.

"I Go" is a song by South Korean DJ and producer Peggy Gou, released as a standalone single on 9 July 2021 through Gou's imprint Gudu Records. It was included on her 2024 debut album I Hear You.
Background
When speaking on the song's inspiration, Gou stated that it was inspired by her years as a teenager in Korea and was meant to "a tribute to that era" and her "own reimagination of the sounds I grew up loving". She wrote the Korean lyrics on her phone in 2019, "staring at [her]self in the mirror of an airport toilet" as a way to motivate herself.
Critical reception
EDM.com described "I Go" as a "scintillating blend of house and techno, with elements of disco and synthwave folded in along the way". Peter Helman of Stereogum called it "a shimmering, propulsive electronic dance track inspired by Gou's love of '90s club music". Lars Gotrich of NPR felt that it "vibrates like a glitter-pink Walkman on a summer day, its melody effervescent, backed by swagger-jacked synth-funk that turbocharges in the last minute". Chase McMullen of Beats Per Minute wrote that it "is both nostalgic and futuristic at once, recalling the sounds [Gou] grew up loving, with echoes of rave culture and (yep) even Haddaway, it's one of the most instantly lovable, endearing tracks she's recorded to date". In a review of the Soulwax remix, Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor felt the original was "sweet and nostalgic" but the remix "dial[ed] it up to 11", with Soulwax "laying down a frisky beat" and writing that the "remix hinges on a grubby, addictive bassline".
Pitchfork ranked it as the 17th best song of 2021, with Evan Minsker calling it "engineered to motivate" and writing that Gou's "vocals are gentle, but her promise of persistence ('I go I go, I go I go') feels powerful. Throbbing drum machines further bolster her energizing message, turning a personal pep talk into a lull-crushing banger". He concluded that it is "a six-minute '90s dance megamix that feels 10 minutes too short".
