Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation (Eco-Mo Foundation)

The Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation
(abbreviated as “Eco-Mo Foundation”) was established as the Foundation for
Promoting Amenities of Transport with the help of the Nippon Foundation and other
organizations concerned in 1994, and it started to use the current name in 1997 when
it expanded its operations by adding the environmental measure program in the field
of transport to the barrier-free transport promotion program.
Japan has been facing various issues in the 21st century. In the field of transport,
there are growing demands for more than just fast and safe transport; rather, transport
system is required to be safe and without anxiety for all people and to be in harmony
with the global environment.
