“This program helps address the dual challenges we face in Atlanta: climate change and traffic congestion,” said Atlanta City Council Member Matt Westmoreland. “This encourages people to get out of their vehicles and do so in a climate-friendly way.”

Atlanta is the first city in Georgia to offer this discount program, although other southern cities like Tampa and Raleigh have already offered this program.

Rebate requests must be submitted, starting Sunday, here: atlantaregional.org/ebikerebate.
