HARTFORD, CT – The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will launch a second round of vouchers for its popular electronic bike incentive program, which can save qualifying residents over $1,000 when purchasing an e-bike.
DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes, along with Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam, other state officials, and bicycle advocates announced the new funding at a news conference Monday in Bushnell Park.
“We had an extraordinary response, extraordinary interest from the public for these e-bike vouchers,” Dykes said. “This program is a result of legislative leadership on improving air quality and tackling climate change, and most importantly, making a difference in providing for more affordable clean transportation options for our folks in Connecticut, and especially those living in communities that are overburdened by air pollution and who lack affordable transportation options.”
