This paper investigates the situations of cases where the Green Slow Mobility (GSM) is in operation in small islands. The GSM is the term created by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism, which means the small mobility services using electric low-speed vehicles. Public transport services in Japan are shrinking due to a decline in demand and labor law reform. This makes it difficult for senior citizens to go out for shopping, medical care, and other activities. The situation is the same as in small islands. Although many local governments have conducted social experiments to provide the transport services via the GSM, most of them do not result in continuous operation. The main obstacles are twofold: the profitability of the project and the difficulty of setting up a service system in a small community. However, the GSM is in operation on seven islands. Each island has a unique approach to providing transport services. All are unprofitable and receive financial support from their local government.
