Published On Dec 12, 2024, 5:47 AM

California has initiated a new statewide e-bike voucher program, offering eligible residents $2,000 off the purchase of a new electric bike. The program aims to encourage the adoption of zero-emissions transportation, particularly for low-income Californians. This initiative follows other state measures to help residents transition to cleaner vehicles. With $3 million available to subsidize 1,500 e-bikes, this project is part of broader efforts to improve air quality and support environmentally friendly transportation options, especially as gas prices may rise due to new emission standards.
