Bike to Work Tax Credit

I saw an ad for this $20 credit for biking to work in a bike store and decided to look it up. Here is a link to the Representative who pushed for the bill, which has all the details of the plan:

It appears that the program is meant for employees who commute to work regularly on a bike. These employees are eligible for a $20 a month credit to spend on bicycle repair and maintenance.
Since a lot of Drexel students end up Co-Oping or eventually working in Philadlephia, this may be the incentive they need to start riding their bikes to work instead of driving.
