An Act expanding community access to electric bicycles

This bill creates a state grant program to fund electric bike access through bike share and ownership initiatives. It directly affects municipalities, businesses, and nonprofits that operate electric bike programs, prioritizing those serving environmental justice or historically underserved communities. Grantees can use funds for purchasing bikes, infrastructure, labor, and administrative costs, but must provide matching funds and report on program use. The Department of Energy Resources will manage applications, set award criteria, and enforce compliance with reporting requirements.
