E-Bikes Received Enthusiastically by Worcester Area Residents
In 2022, MassBike launched an income-eligible e-bike incentive program in Worcester, MA. The Program distributed e-bikes to participants from environmental justice communities in Worcester and 10 neighboring towns.
The primary goals of the program were to:
- Measure the impact on greenhouse gas emissions due to mode-shift
- Encourage the use of e-bikes as a cleaner, more sustainable transportation option compared to traditional vehicles
- Pilot new e-bike program models
- Encourage riders to use the e-bike safely via instruction and on-bike training
- Build a culture of bicycle advocacy in an area of the state that was not known for being bicycle friendly
