In Bloomberg CityLab I wrote about a new study exploring the power/limits of e-bike rebates.

TLDR: Rebates lead more people to ride (esp those w/low incomes), benefitting public health & urban quality of life. But they're an inefficient way to reduce emissions.

2024 could be considered “the year of the ebike”, as our sustainable transportation program manager John MacArthur told the The Guardian. After several years of false starts, electric bikes are finally entering the American mainstream: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our PSU Study Abroad course this past summer explored sustainable transportation in Sweden and Denmark, with support from the Scan Design foundation. They toured the infrastructure, biked in the cities, and even ran into some thomas dambo trolls along the way: trec.pdx.edu/news/students-…

Key takeaways from a new Lime study:
+Low-fare Access users were more likely to be locals who commute using Lime
+Everyone uses Lime to access transit, but especially Access users
+Access users see shared micromobility as essential for their mobility

Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City is about so much more than traffic calming.

It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇👇

E-bike rebates are fantastic. So why are US states/cities making it so hard to get one?

Will Congress finally create a federal e-bike rebate?

Which Senator celebrated his 60th birthday on a bike path?

Could the feds require parking cashouts?

All this and more, in my Slate convo with @RepBlumenauer (D-OR), the House’s OG bike advocate.
