Bill > HR6659

This bill establishes a grant program within the U.S. Department of Transportation to facilitate the operation of electric bicycle sharing services in disadvantaged communities. The program would provide funding for the purchase of electric bicycles, charging infrastructure, community outreach and education, incentives for residents, and other costs associated with operating these services. Eligible entities include state/local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, transportation authorities, and certain nonprofit organizations that partner with the aforementioned entities. The Secretary of Transportation will consider various criteria when awarding grants, including the capacity to operate the service, addressing transportation needs, cyclist safety, and sustainability. The bill also sets forth reporting requirements for grant recipients and defines key terms like "electric bicycle" and "disadvantaged community."
