Withdrawal of public transport caused by population decline and motorization, mainly in rural areas, presents many difficulties. As a countermeasure, a “mobility policy” to strengthen the network centering on public transport is regarded as important. Among mobility policies, a review of the plan must be conducted for both a location normalization plan and a regional public transport network formation plan. However, the relation between the formulation status and various attributes of the municipality is insufficiently described in the related literature. Therefore, this study was conducted for quantitative analyzes of the relation between the state of development of mobility policy and local governments attributes. Results clarify that local government staff awareness such as existence of a Department of City Planning system and effort status of various mobility policies for local government staff recognition influence the plan formulation.
