In a move to enhance sustainable transportation options, the Department of Economic and Sustainable Development in Bloomington announces the launch of a pilot E-Bike Voucher Program. The program aims to encourage residents to embrace electric bikes and aligns with the City’s commitment to micro-mobility and environmental sustainability.

This initiative not only supports the City’s Climate Action Plan but also aligns with the Transportation Demand Management Plan. The primary goal is to reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and decrease on-road vehicle miles traveled by 8% of 2018 values, as outlined in the Climate Action Plan.
