Ever heard of the Buffalo Bike? It probably doesn’t look like the flashy, lightweight, or streamlined bicycles we normally see.…
The City of Atlanta and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) announced today that they are partnering to offer an e-bike rebate program designed to provide affordable transportation options for moderate and low-income individuals, reduce congestion, and improve air quality.
The Atlanta City Council on Jan. 8 approved a measure to invest $1 million to establish the e-bike rebate program, which will be administered by ARC. The program reserves 75% of rebates for income-eligible individuals earning at or below 80% of the Atlanta region’s median household income, or about $54,000 a year.
Income qualified residents are eligible to receive a $1,500 rebate for a standard e-bike and $2,000 for a cargo e-bike. Rebates for other residents are $500 for a standard e-bike and $1,000 for a cargo e-bike.
