Fund the San Francisco E-Bike Incentive Program
E-bikes help people reduce car trips[1][2][3], decreasing car traffic, costs related to roadway construction/maintenance, noise, air pollution, climate emissions, and roadway fatalities/injuries while increasing economic activity, revenue for local businesses, community connectedness, public health, and public land available for trees, seating, parks, playgrounds, housing, and other more effective uses.
Unfortunately, e-bikes are too expensive for many people — especially families and workers — and not subsidized like private cars, resulting in more people buying or using cars, increased car traffic, demand for parking, noise, air pollution, climate emissions, and roadway fatalities/injuries, and wasted public space on private car storage.
San Francisco should fund the e-bike incentive program to help more people shift trips to bikes and make our city more safe, affordable, equitable, livable, sustainable, and economically vibrant.
Please sign the petition now to urge our elected officials, policymakers, and other prospective financial supporters to fund the e-bike incentive program — it only takes a few taps and less than a minute, and you will make a real impact!
This campaign was created, and is led by, Luke Bornheimer, Peter Darche, and Lava Sunder. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, email hello@eBikeSF.org. You can find more information about the proposal here and find our FAQ here.
