ATLANTA — A popular e-bike rebate program in Atlanta could potentially be extended.

New legislation introduced by Atlanta city council member Marci Collier Overstreet would set $1 million to continue the program.

According to a report from the Atlanta Regional Commission, the $1 million grant program in 2024 helped nearly 800 people get e-bikes.

More than 11,000 Atlanta residents applied for the rebate program.

Atlanta officials previously said a large portion of the funds helped lower income residents in need of transportation.

Officials also said those who received the vouchers took 40% fewer car trips to work or school.
