BILL NUMBER: S3080

SPONSOR: SALAZAR
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act directing the New York state energy research and development
authority to establish a ride clean rebate program

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

An act to direct NYSERDA to establish a Ride Clean Rebate Program in
parallel with the Drive Clean Rebate Program. In line with the legaliza-
tion of class one, class two, and class three bicycles with electric
assist passed in the Governor's 2020 Budget (see: Vehicle & Traffic Law
Section 102-c) this bill will encourage the expansion of electric bikes
across New York State. Using the same funding, the Ride Clean Rebate
Program would expand carbon-free mobility across New York State.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 directs the New York State Research and Development Authority

(NYSERDA) to create a Ride Clean Rebate Program to allow class one,
class two, and class three. bicycle with electric assists to be eligible
for a 50A rebate' eligible up to $1,100 USD in a Ride Clean Rebate.

Section 2 sets the effective date as immediate upon enactment.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Whereas e-bikes became legal in past years and are seen in tandem with
electric vehicles as part of the low carbon mobility future, and 75
percent of auto trips and 55 percent of transit trips in NYC are under
five miles, this rebate would encourage more New Yorkers to purchase and
utilize e-bikes for trips under five-miles removing congestion, traffic,
and harmful emissions from our roads and air.

By establishing a Ride Clean Rebate Program in parallel with the Drive
Clean Rebate Program that launched in 2017, New York State would diver-
sify its clean transportation strategy to further build a clean, resil-
ient, and affordable energy system.

Additionally, the funding for the Drive Clean Rebate Program is allo-
cated in the State Budget and has not been fully paid out. This would
also be a stimulus to new entrepreneurship as electric bicycles are an
emerging industry in New York State in the period since legalization of
the technology.

 
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IMPACT:  This legislation would help to mitigate
the impacts of climate change by reducing carbon emissions, overall
traffic and congestion, and encouraging a shift to renewable modes of
transportation.
