Topline:
The California Air Resources Board is opening a second application window for lower-income Californians to apply for a voucher worth up to $2,000 toward the purchase of a new e-bike. The first window saw more than 1,000 vouchers issued totaling more than $2 million in rebates.
Who's eligible: To apply, you have to be at least 18 years old and meet income eligibility requirements.
Why now: This application window was originally scheduled for April 29, but CARB says it was postponed after the website experienced issues due to high traffic and suspicious activity. CARB says it has made improvements to its website's security and ability to handle a large number of visitors all at once.
