The Ava Bike Electric incentive program allocates $10 million to connect over 9,000 Alameda County residents with electric bikes. Funded by Ava Community Energy and the Alameda County Transportation Commission, it will provide approximately 600 vouchers monthly through September 2026. Income-qualified recipients can receive up to $1,500 for specific bikes plus a $250 safety equipment rebate, while non-income-qualified vouchers range from $400 to $900. Vouchers can be redeemed at 22 participating bike shops, with a significant number of applications already received and vouchers distributed.
"Expanding affordable access to e-bikes directly advances the Commission's goals to support a transportation system that is both sustainable and equitable and advances innovation."
"Income-qualified recipients can get a $1,000 voucher for a standard bike or a $1,500 voucher for either a cargo bike or an adaptive bike made to accommodate various physical needs."
