PVPC collaborated with CALSTART as one of five pilot projects assisting the MA Clean Energy Center to determine the best ways to provide e-bikes to economically and structurally disadvantaged people.
Overview
Building on the overwhelming success of ValleyBike, the region’s all electric e-bike system catalyzed by PVPC, we collaborated with our ValleyBike communities (Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, Northampton, Amherst, Easthampton, South Hadley and West Springfield) and community-based organizations (CBOs) in those communities (Gardening the Community, One Holyoke CDC, Holyoke YMCA, Community Action of the Pioneer Valley, Ascentria and Valley Opportunity Council) to identify individuals who could benefit from and use an electric bike. Project goals include the reduction of GHG emissions, transition to clean, safe, sustainable energy, expanding access to opportunity, and engaging CBOs in climate action.
