Cleaner Commutes for King County
Cleaner transportation. Healthier communities. Greater access.
The Cleaner Commutes for King County project is a community-informed initiative led by the Somali Independent Business Alliance (SIBA) to reduce air pollution and expand access to cleaner transportation options across West King County.
Through this project, SIBA is providing electric bikes to eligible community members while helping residents learn about clean transportation, air quality, and sustainable commuting options. The project focuses on communities disproportionately affected by air pollution, including areas designated by the Washington State Department of Ecology as overburdened communities.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this project is to support access to clean transportation by providing an e-bike
to reduce car dependency, lower emissions, and improve mobility for work, school, and essential
trips.
Equipment Use & Ownership
• The participant will receive an Aventon Abound LR e-bike which has a range of up to 60 miles per charge.
• For the first 8 months, SIBA will maintain partial ownership of the bike.
• After successful participation and compliance with program requirements, full ownership will
be transferred to the participant. Participant cannot resell, transfer or give away the bike.
3. Usage Expectations
• The participant agrees to use the e-bike regularly for commuting or essential trips.
• The participant commits to a minimum usage of 25-30 miles a month.

Enjoy Great E-Bikes and Improved Air Quality in King County!
To date, SIBA has distributed 25 electric bikes to eligible community members, with additional e-bikes being distributed as the project continues. Recipients are using the bikes for work, school, business, errands, and other daily transportation needs, while tracking their mileage to help us measure vehicle trips avoided and the project’s environmental impact.
