DUI? No Flexcar for you!

According to the Rocky Mountain News, the Flexcar company discriminates against people who have a dui convictions. A summary of the article follows:

Flexcar, the nation's largest car-sharing service, will meet with transportation officials Thursday to explore the possibility of revving up business in the Mile High City.

...Once accepted, members receive a card with a wireless transmitter that unlocks the company's automobiles and records their trips.

...The Seattle-based company, which has offices in Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., chooses new locations and neighborhoods based on population density, transit use and interest, according to the company's Web site.

"We see a need for it, and we're jealous of the other cities that have it," said Allison Billings, executive director of Transportation Solutions, one of the groups in the region that invited Flexcar to explore Denver.
