Jan. 17, 2026 — Redmond — The Redmond City Council approved the city’s first large-scale e-bike rebate program last week, offering residents rebates of up to $1,000 to encourage sustainable transportation amid growing tech commuter traffic.
Applications for the rebates will open on Feb. 1, allowing eligible residents to apply for financial assistance toward purchasing electric bikes.
The program seeks to reduce reliance on cars by promoting e-bikes as an eco-friendly commuting option, particularly as traffic from tech industry workers increases in the region.
Resident enthusiasm is evident on social media, where recent X posts about the initiative have garnered more than 200 likes, reflecting strong community interest in the new sustainable transport incentive.
