EcoMobility Alliance

The EcoMobility Alliance is a network of ambitious cities, led by innovators and visionaries, supported by experts and businesses, committed to building a sustainable mobility future that is efficient, people-centered, low emission and environmentally-friendly. The EcoMobility Alliance was founded in 2011 with six cities and has since grown to 23 cities from various regions of the world. Since its inception, the EcoMobility Alliance has worked to become a truly global actor by engaging a geographically diverse range of cities and partners. Cities that have joined have shown significant efforts to advance and implement sustainable urban mobility.

The Alliance reinforces the local governments’ commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by transforming the transportation systems and reconfiguring mobility patterns, with an aim to reduce automobile dependency and increase low-emission and people-centered mobility efforts. To reach this vision, the Kaohsiung Strategies for the Future of Urban Mobility have been formulated to guide cities. These strategies focus on integrated urban planning, improving health and quality of life, reducing dependency on private automobiles and applying sustainability principles in passenger and freight mobility.
