In the future, please use the share cycle as one of the local means of transportation, such as shopping, leisure use, and commuting to school.

1. In response to the diverse mobility needs of local residents, etc., we will improve the quality of life by securing means of transportation in daily life and increasing the options for transportation as a complement to the functions of public transportation.
2. Contribute to regional revitalization by increasing the number of travels of city users.
3. Reduce environmental impact by switching from private car movement and promote the formation of a decarbonized society.
4. By increasing the number of share cycle users, we will further raise awareness of traffic rules, etc. when using bicycles through applications.
5. Improve business profitability through public-private partnerships with the aim of partially paying businesses such as public land usage fees at the full-scale implementation stage.

As a result of the efforts of the Yokohama Central Community Cycle Project and the Yokohama City Wide Area Share Cycle Project Social Experiment conducted in Motoichi, a visualization of the movement data of the share cycle will be released to the public in a state that anyone can view it on WebGIS. I will.
　As a result, we can expect the effects of facilitating internal decision-making by private companies considering the establishment of ports, predicting future in economic activities, and improving the accuracy of marketing activities.
　This is the first initiative for local governments nationwide to disclose the share cycle transfer data on WebGIS.
