The number of population and vehicles grow rapidly with the advancing industrial and commercial development. In particular, the number of registered motorcycles increases dramatically thanks to its mobility, convenience and ease to park. Chiayi City is a small place with dense population. Serious pollution may result easily from these vehicles if without a good control system. As such, the Environmental Protection Administration started the collection of air pollution fees in 1996. Related mobile pollution source control measures were established and mobile pollution source auditing and control plans were carried out throughout the country.

To increase the visibility of electric motorcycles, Shih Hsin Television was entrusted to produce a 25-second short film to promote these green vehicles and broadcast over time periods for which the budget is available and from which the best effects can be achieved. Mayor Huang was invited to star in this promotional film, which was shot on June 9 at the Mayor’s office and broadcast over cable TV channels in Oct. In total the film was aired for 580 times on 19 channels, allowing us to ride toward a lighter life style and helping make Chiayi a city of good life and green energy. So far, 185 citizens have filed their application for subsidies on 159 electric motorcycles produced by E-Moving, 25 by Yamaha and 1 by E-Ton.
To promote low-carbon transportation and encourage citizens to ride bicycles instead of driving cars and motorcycles, Chiayi City Government started the trial program of free lending of bicycles. Currently, 2,243 of free lending were accumulated, and the statistics shows that the lending ratio of male vs. female was 3:7, and approximately 11 km/lending was registered.
