E-Bike Grant Program
Providing Sustainable Transportation
San Antonio’s e-bike program is helping make clean, affordable transportation more accessible. Through the City’s pilot program, 244 low-income residents received e-bike rebates, supporting a broader effort to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and expand mobility options.
An early study out of UTSA suggests the program is making a real impact. After launch, average daily bicycling trips among participants more than doubled, showing that e-bikes can help people get around more often while supporting a healthier, more sustainable city.
This page will be updated if new e-bike vouchers become available.
