  • WSDOT and vendor APTIM, LLC. will launch an e-bike rebate program that will help offset the cost of purchasing an e-bike and any associated safety equipment.

Washington State has launched an e-bike rebate program to promote eco-friendly transportation, offering rebates up to $1,200 for eligible residents. The program, which began accepting applications on October 2, 2023, aims to reduce carbon emissions by incentivizing the use of electric bikes. Qualifying individuals can receive rebates based on income, with the highest amount available for those with the lowest incomes. The initiative not only seeks to make e-bikes more accessible but also to decrease reliance on cars, thereby improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion. The program is part of a broader legislative effort to support sustainable transport options, with funding coming from the state's Climate Commitment Act.
