The SNTMA has funds for fifteen Bucks for Bikes subsidies. We are offering up to $500 or 90% of the purchase cost of a new commuter bike, whichever is less to the TMA. Complete the attached application and return it with a written bike shop estimate to Stephanie at Stephanie@sntma.org. Electric bike and scooter purchases are eligible. As a condition of funding, recipients must provide a photo of themselves with their new bikes, copies of receipts and will track bike commute usage for one month. Failure to comply will make the recipients ineligible for SNTMA programs and benefits until the criteria are met. The application deadline is 3/27/2026. One cannot receive both Bike Maintenance & Accessory and Bucks for Bikes subsidies in the same calendar year. One can only receive a Bucks for Bikes subsidy every 3 years. See the attached Bucks for Bikes application.

36th SNTMA Annual Meeting
Keynote Speaker: Lisa Lind, AICP, Principal Planner, SACOG

The increase will go into effect with 2026 invoices.

The NorCal Go system only counts “greener trips” as trips made by carpool, vanpool, transit, biking, walking, or working from home. Low Emissions Vehicles are still making an impact. It’s just that those vehicle trips are not included in the “Your Activity” chart for greener trips on your “home” screen.

So long as you have provided stephanie@sntma.org with your LEV year, make and model and you record at least 20 commute trips, you will be eligible for the South Natomas TMA LEV Subsidy.

Redeem SNTMA alternative commute subsidies the first two business days of each month in NorCal Go. Instructions to redeem our subsidies in NorCal Go attached.

One Subsidy Per Person Per Month, Allows More Participants, Effective January 1, 2024.

SNTMA subsidy participants have 30 days to retrieve PayPal subsidy payments. No exceptions.
