T-1A1a-11 - Shift to electric bikes

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-2 - Active Transport Modes.

Electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to electric bikes reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps create a better urban environment.
