> E-Bike Vouchers
> The City of Atlanta’s E-bike rebate program is a runaway – or should we say, rollaway? – success. City of Atlanta’s e-bike voucher program <https://atlantaregional.org/what-we-do/mobility-services/atlanta-e-bike-rebate-program/> received 8,888 applications for the first round of effort. Income-eligible residents can receive a $1,500 rebate for a standard e-bike or $2,000 for a cargo e-bike. That’s enough to cover the full cost of many models. Bike shops are throwing in a free helmet to boot, and PropelATL is providing free bike safety lessons.

> Flint River Gateway Trails
> The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Clayton County, and the cities of College Park, East Point, and Hapeville have received $64.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop the Flint River Gateway Trails <https://atlantaregional.org/what-we-do/transportation-planning/bicycle-pedestrian/flint-river-gateway-trails/>, a planned 31-mile trail network in South Metro Atlanta. The Flint River Gateway Trails network will connect the Atlanta BeltLine in Southwest Atlanta to Clayton County, passing through the “Tri-Cities” area of College Park, East Point, and Hapeville, which includes the headwaters of the Flint River.
