The State Treasurer of Illinois developed a rebate program to give residents the incentive to buy fuel-efficient vehicles. The Southern CARBONDALE- Illinois took a step Tuesday to put more environmentally friendly vehicles on the road at lower costs for purchasers. State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias unveiled a new statewide rebate program aimed at making fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles more affordable. An incentive program termed "Green Rewards" is now being offered through the treasurer's office. It passes along $1,000 rebates through financial institutions to purchasers of 19 vehicles that are propelled by hybrid technology. "The Illinois Green Rewards program will serve as a model for other states to follow. This is great for the state of Illinois. This is great for Illinois consumers," Giannoulias said. |
