In Ossining, Carina De La Cruz benefited from New York's first rebate program aimed at helping low-income residents purchase electric bikes. Previously reliant on costly taxis and long walks, De La Cruz now enjoys an affordable and efficient means of transportation for short distances. The innovative Project MOVER initiative offers monetary incentives to those unable to afford an e-bike, reflecting a shift in urban transport solutions. New York is looking to emulate successful e-bike subsidy programs from other states to improve mobility and reduce car dependence for low-income households.
De La Cruz stated, 'A bike is just perfect. Because I don't need to go places that are super far, mostly short distances.'
The program will serve river town communities like Ossining, offering monetary incentives to residents who would otherwise be unable to afford an e-bike.
