Trending...
~ The City of Bloomington is taking steps to expand micro-mobility transportation options with the launch of a new pilot program. The e-bike voucher program will provide residents with vouchers to purchase electric bikes at local bike shops, and is part of the City's Climate Action Plan and Transportation Demand Management Plan.

The e-bike voucher program carries a number of resident-based co-benefits, including improved quality of life, increased transportation equity, increased physical activity, increased diversification of the cycling community, decreased traffic congestion and reduced number of vehicle accidents. All residents may qualify for point-of-purchase vouchers of $500, while low-income residents may qualify for increased vouchers worth $1,000 towards an e-bike. The program is launching as a partnership with the Bicycle Garage and Revolution Bike and Bean.
