The the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) announced the Massachusetts E-Bike Voucher Program, which aims to assist low-and-moderate income residents across the state by providing a voucher that reduces the cost of an e-bike. Vouchers of $800 to $1200 (depending on eligibility) will be awarded via random selection. Please click the button below to register for the opportunity to receive a Voucher.
The Massachusetts Statewide E‑bike Voucher Program is part of the state’s strategy to reduce growth in vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions in the Commonwealth. The Program will also contribute to the Commonwealth’s goal of providing affordable and accessible electrified transportation for low‑ and moderate‑income residents across the state. You can learn more about the state’s climate goals here.
The program offers two types of E‑bike vouchers that support low‑ and moderate‑income Massachusetts residents: Standard and Enhanced.
All participants must be residents of Massachusetts. Voucher amounts will never exceed the total cost of an E‑Bike.
