The state legislature funded this grant program to help more people use e-bikes. Organizations receiving this grant can set up e-bike libraries and/or e-bike ownership projects.
Eligible Washington residents can borrow e-bikes from these libraries for a fixed period, grantees can decide if they want to add an element of e-bike ownership at the end of the loan period. Washington residents can try e-bikes and decide if they are useful to their lifestyle. Ultimately, people borrowing e-bikes may use e-bikes for trips they may otherwise have used cars.
Grantees should use inclusive human centered design and plan their lending libraries in collaboration with communities that will use them.
Consult the Grant Application guidance document for additional information.
