"I want to ensure that all San Francisco families, especially those underserved by transit, can access this sustainable way to drop off their kids at school, which makes all our children safer," said Peskin. "This is an important step toward an inclusive carbon-free future."
"We're excited to continue working with public officials to secure funding for the e-bike incentive program and looking forward to getting e-bike incentives in the hands of San Franciscans as soon as possible," continued Bornheimer.
E-bike rebate programs have been tried in other cities, including Pasadena, Austin, and Denver. E-bikes usage has made bicycling accessible to people who are unable to ride regular bicycles due to age or physical limitations.
And price is a major barrier for people looking to potentially purchase an E-Bike - even less-expensive ones cost over $1,000 after taxes and fees.
