- ComÂmuÂniÂty Access to ElecÂtric BicyÂcles Grant ProÂgram will open on OctoÂber 25th. SimÂiÂlar to the proÂgram for FY23, this year’s grant proÂgram will be to fund e‑bike deployÂment projects. CEO is adminÂisÂterÂing this RFA in two phasÂes. In phase one appliÂcants will be required to subÂmit a conÂcept paper that proÂvides a high-levÂel sumÂmaÂry of the proÂposed project. AppliÂcants whose conÂcept papers demonÂstrate a thorÂough underÂstandÂing of the Program’s objecÂtives and a well-designed deployÂment modÂel that increasÂes access to e‑bikes for income-qualÂiÂfied indiÂvidÂuÂals will be invitÂed to subÂmit a full project proÂposÂal. This solicÂiÂtaÂtion is open to all local govÂernÂments, nonÂprofÂits, and tribÂal governments.
