Can These Self-Charging E-Bike Libraries Bring Mobility to Low-Income Communities?
- Date: 10/01/2024
Buying an e-bike is expensive. Starting last year, a local startup is providing low-cost, self-charging e-bike libraries to low-income communities…
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and the City of Atlanta today announced the launch of a highly anticipated e-bike rebate program designed to provide affordable transportation options for moderate and low-income individuals.
City of Atlanta residents have until Sunday, June 23 to submit an application to enter a lottery for e-bike rebates of up to $2,000. Applications are available at atlantaregional.org/ebikerebate.
The city is investing $1 million in the program, which is being administered by ARC. Equity is a primary focus, with 75% of rebates reserved for income-eligible individuals earning at or below 80% of the Atlanta region’s median household income. The income limit varies based on size of household, starting at $60,200 for an individual.
