BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
On March 18, 2021, the City received a grant award of $135,000 from the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) to
implement the Can Do Colorado E-Bike Program.
With this funding, the City will deploy a program that provides Class 1 electric bikes, accessories, and a
maintenance package to lawfully present low-income essential workers at no cost. Project objectives include
supporting program participants in learning to ride and maintain their e-bikes and encouraging participants to
use their e-bikes to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the two-year program period.
The City will partner with community-based organizations (CBOs) to identify participants who meet the lawfully
present, low-income and essential worker criteria. The CBOs will apply to the program on behalf of their clients,
and the program partners will select eligible participants whose use of an e-bike is expected to most significantly
reduce GHG emissions. E-bikes and accessories such as helmets, locks, and lights will be purchased,
assembled, stored, and distributed to program participants by the bike vendor partner. The selected bike vendor
will also provide a maintenance package.
Program partners Northern Colorado Clean Cities (NCCC), Bike Fort Collins (BFC), and a to-be-selected bike
vendor will develop instructional videos about e-bike maintenance, where to ride, how to ride and bicycling safety.
Selected participants will be invited to collect their e-bike and accessory kit at a deployment event at their CBO
headquarters. At these events, program partners will ensure the new e-bike owners know how to operate,
maintain, and safely ride their bike. The e-bikes and accessories are intended to be purchased at the end of
April/beginning of May and distributed before July 31, 2021.
Additional program partner National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) CanBikeCO app will be customized
for the City program and will be used to collect data about e-bike usage and to continuously communicate with
program participants. The data collected through the CanBikeCO app will be used to evaluate program
effectiveness in reducing GHG emissions. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected from program

participants to respond in real-time to their reported barriers to riding during the two-year data collection period
and to provide insight for future scale-up of the program if additional funding is obtained.
This program will directly benefit mobility and access for the lawfully present, low-income essential workers who
receive e-bikes. The program model also strengthens relationships between the City and local CBOs facilitating
future programs to advance equity and sustainable transportation within the City. A full description of the program
is include in the CEO Purchase Order (PO) attached as Exhibit A to the Ordinance.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance will appropriate $135,000 of unanticipated grant revenue from the Transportation Services Fund
to be pledged to support the implementation of the Can Do Colorado E-Bike Program. The appropriation of
funds does not require matching funds to be provided by the City. The budget for the program is included in
Exhibit A to the Ordinance.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
On January 5, 2021, staff sent an announcement to over 40 local CBOs to announce that the City was applying
for a grant award from the CEO to implement the Can Do Colorado E-Bike Program and to invite the CBOs to
provide input on how the program should be structured. No input was received. On February 22, 2021, City staff
sent out a request to CBOs identified as most likely to benefit from the program, to ask that they submit letters
of support for the program to be included in the grant application. Letters of support were provided by Matthews
House and Homeward Alliance on February 23, 2021. Staff released a program announcement notification and
a request for applications to over 40 local CBOs on April 7, 2021.

Task 3 – Project Workplan and Schedule
Task 3.1 – Project Development
The Program Development stage consists of six tasks and will commence as soon as the official notice of
award is received:
1. Develop Program Application Website and Secure Bike Vendor Through RFP Process
The City will put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit applications from potential bike
vendors to partner with the City on this program. Responsibilities of the selected bike vendor will
include procuring e-bikes and e-bike accessories, assembly and storage, partnering on the
development of educational videos, and sharing in the responsibility of hosting distribution events
where the videos will be shown.
The City will develop an online application page where representatives from CBOs can apply to
participate in the program on behalf of their clients. The application web page will allow
applicants to sign up to attend virtual meetings with City staff where staff will walk applicants
through the application process. For those who cannot attend the meetings, there will be a link
to connect with bilingual City staff for assistance in filling out the application. The website
application will collect the initial information needed to verify eligibility for the e-bike program,
select program participants whose use of an e-bike would most effectively contribute to
Page 4 of 11
reductions in GHG emissions, and initialize the data collection process. NREL will be a partner in
developing the application questions, and storing and analyzing the data received to assist in
selecting participants and in evaluating their participation throughout the program.
2. Task 2: Promote program and solicit applications from community -based organizations and
their clients
The City will reach out to the CBOs to announce this opportunity and will invite them to apply.
The City will put out a press release after program recipients have been selected. The City will ask
CBOs to help bring clients who will receive e-bikes for a mandatory deployment event which will
include information on how and where to ride, basic maintenance, and how to use the CanBikeCO
app. The City will also invite them to participate in two e-bike promotional and educational events
to be hosted by the City, NCCC and BFC during the two-year program period after the e-bikes are
deployed. The City will allow each CBO to apply for up to 10 e-bikes for their clients. As part of the
application process, the City will set up an option for community organization applicants to obtain
assistance filling out and submitting the application.
3. Work with NREL to adapt CanBikeCO app to the City program and prepare for data collection
The City will work with NREL to develop a plan for the CanBikeCO app. This will be an ongoing task
in which the City will review user engagement quarterly and identify new improvements for
prioritization and implementation in the next quarter.
4. Task 4: Develop training videos for program participants
The bike vendor, NCCC and BFC will work together to develop a series of five educational videos
in English and Spanish that participants will be required to watch prior to receiving the e -bikes.
The videos will focus on operation, charging and maintenance of e -bikes, bike safety and rules
and regulations for bikers in Fort Collins.
5. Collect and review applications, select program participants
The deadline for application submittal will be set as 3-4 weeks after announcement. Applicants
will be selected to participate based on whether they meet eligibility criteria and on number of
miles they are expected to ride on the e-bike and/or GHG emissions they are expected to avoid
by using the e-bike.
6. E-bike and equipment procurement, assembly and storage
After the City confirms that selected participants are committed to the education and data
requirements of the program, the City will work with the bike vendor to place orders for the e-
bikes and bike accessory kits. When the e-bikes arrive, the bike vendor will assemble the bikes
and provide storage of bikes and accessories until the e-bike deployment stage.
Task 3.2 – eBike Deployment
1. Notify participants of selection
Page 5 of 11
The City will notify the CBOs on who has been selected to participate in the program. The CBO
will be responsible for notifying their clients on whose behalf they submitted the application.
2. Prepare participants to receive e-bikes
Participants will be required to download the NREL CanBikeCO app . Participants will also be
required to attend an in-person or virtual deployment event hosted by their CBO.
3. E-bike distribution
After participants have completed the requirements, they will receive e -bikes in person at the
headquarters of their CBO as part of the deployment event. For participants who are unable to
pick up the e-bike in person, the City will provide delivery of the e-bike and go over the educational
videos and the app, and demo the e-bike.
4. Communicating with new e-bikers and initiating data collection
When participants pick up their e-bike, they will receive a welcome message through the
CanBikeCO app along with a token for login and a short demographic survey. After this welcome,
the participants will begin seeing prompts in the app to “label” their trip and NREL will begin
sending out quarterly surveys to assess participant experience with the app and the e -bike. For
participants without a Smart Phone, the initial and ongoing communication strategy will be
adapted to accommodate their needs.
Task 3.3 – Ongoing Support and Maintenance
1. Continued communication with and support of participants
Using the CanBikeCO app, NREL will send out quarterly surveys regarding participant app and e -
bike experience for the duration of the two-year data collection period. Additional information
will be included with initial messages focusing on rider education and building new habits to
support data collection. Later messages will advertise things to do or places to go on e-bikes to
encourage further use of the e-bikes. Communication will include reminders and tips to conduct
routine maintenance on the e-bikes and to go to the bike vendor for their no-cost maintenance
services. The bike vendor, NCCC and BFC will plan and implement two promotional and
educational events within the two-year program period after the e-bikes are distributed.
2. Maintenance activities
The bike vendor will offer a riding tune up at no cost to participants within 30-45 days of
receiving their e-bike at the bike vendor’s location in Fort Collins. Additionally, included in the
cost of the e-bike they are receiving, participants will be allowed to bring their e-bikes in to the
bike vendor’s location for a full maintenance treatment after one year of use. The bike vendor
will allow participants to bring in their e-bikes to receive flat tire repair services at no cost as
needed for two years after deployment.
Page 6 of 11
3. Data Collection and Reporting
NREL will make the required quantitative metrics specified by CEO available through the public
dashboard. This will include frequency of e-bike use (days per month), total number of trips (per
month), average trip length (per month), total e-bike miles (per month) and estimated energy
and emissions impacts. Qualitative data collection will include surveys administered though the
CanBikeCO app that reveal participant experience with app and with e-bike, project anecdotes
and observations collected from partner organizations and participants, and
testimonials/quotes about the importance of the program.
4. Pursuit of additional sources of program funding
The City will compile a list of and pursue funding through Federal and State grant or sponsorship
opportunities.
