"Atlanta City Council Allocates $1 Million for E-Bike Rebates"

Atlanta City Council has approved a $1 million program to provide residents with up to $2,000 in instant rebates for electric bicycles in an effort to reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The program, administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission and Propel ATL, will prioritize income-qualified residents, offering a $1,500 rebate for a standard e-bike and $2,000 for a cargo e-bike. Non-income-qualified residents can still receive $500 for a standard e-bike and $1,000 for a cargo e-bike. The initiative aims to fund the purchase of 800 to 1,000 e-bikes and is part of the city's efforts to improve transportation infrastructure and promote sustainable mobility.
