The City of Wichita will pay you $50 to replace combustion lawn equipment with electric or battery-powered lawn equipment. The pilot program aims to incentivize individuals and help the city control its ozone emissions. Non-road mobile sources make up between 25% to 36% of local emissions. Lawnmowers and other lawn equipment are estimated to account for 50%-90% of those sources. The lawn care equipment rebate pilot program is an effort to mitigate the ozone emissions within the city’s control.
