Mobility Management

Last Updated November 11, 2024

In recent years, the revitalization of public transportation such as railways and buses has become increasingly important due to the advent of a declining birthrate and aging society and the growing awareness of global warming issues.
In Yokohama City, in the Yokohama Urban Transportation Plan formulated in March 2008, one of its policy goals is to switch from private car transportation to public transportation in order to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce the environmental burden.
Therefore, we are implementing “mobility management” that encourages a voluntary shift from private car transportation to public transportation.

<What is Mobility Management (MM)?
This is an initiative to encourage a spontaneous shift from “life that relies excessively on private cars” to “life that uses a variety of means of transportation, mainly on foot, bicycle, and public transportation”.
