This initiative is part of TCLP’s Strategic Plan, which includes a focus on innovative initiatives and strategic partnerships that foster a healthy planet and sustainable future for the community. 

The rebate program provides financial incentives to customers who purchase e-bikes, making environmentally friendly transportation more accessible and affordable.
