Travel, Environmental, and Equity Impacts of Income-Conditioned E-Bike Rebates in British Columbia Program
Authors: Polina Polikakhina, Amir Hassanpour, Kyla Yu, Meghan Winters, & Alexander Bigazzi (2025)

In 2023, the BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit distributed over 4,900 income-conditioned rebates of $350 to $1,400 to make travel more affordable, boost active transportation, and cut CO2emissions, with a total program cost of $6.5m.

Study
•Researchers at UBC and SFU recruited and surveyed over 1,000 of those rebate recipients
•Surveys were completed: near the time of purchase, +3 months later, and +12 months later
•58% of rebate recipients would not have purchased an e-bike without the rebates
•Rebates were more effective when received by Lower-income households

•Low-income households did more e-biking, but
•High-income households reduced their auto use more

Total Program Impacts

Total impacts due to new e-bike purchases created by the rebate program :
5 million km more annual e-biking
3 million km less annual travel by auto
1000 tonnes Co2 less annual emissions (average abatement cost of $1,300/tonne CO2)
$8.7 M new retailer revenue (only from new e-bike purchases)

SFU FHS prof Meghan Winters was a co-investigator in a study led by the #UBC #REACTLab which found an income-based e-bike rebate program improved access, encouraged active travel and reduced car use.
