The Clean Cars 4 All Program, run by the State Air Resources Board, gives out monetary incentives for people to replace old polluting cars with cleaner, more efficient vehicles. For years the program has given out money to help buy electric cars, but has also offered the alternative of a voucher for a “mobility option” in lieu of an expensive vehicle. That voucher could be used for public transit passes or to join a car-share enterprise.
S.B. 400, from Senator Tom Umberg (D-Santa Ana), would expand the use of the vouchers to e-bikes and bike-share. It is an acknowledgement of the ability of bikes – the original zero-emission vehicles – to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a real alternative to buying a new car.
S.B. 400 has passed both the Senate and the Assembly, and has been forwarded to the Governor.
