description Worldwide, the urban population is increasing rapidly at 1.84%. Green Mobility emerged as a practical approach for promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation in cities. This study is carried out with the main aim of finding the advantages and viability of Green Mobility in the future cities of Saudi Arabia. The quantitative research methodology is used to obtain credible data on the benefits of implementing green mobility through the perspective of government officials dealing with environmental issues. A validated questionnaire was administered to respondents working in the environmental protection sector. All analysis was carried out by using SPSS version 20. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated. The inferential statistics were obtained using the regression and Pearson correlation tests. Findings have shown a significant connection between Green Mobility and its environmental benefits that enhance the quality of life in Saudi Arabia. Green Mobility is associated with the incremental investment, time-saving, reduction of traffic congestion, climate protection, improving health benefits, air quality betterment and diversification of energy supply. Overall, this study's findings have emphasized the need for an integrated and clear policy designed within a national framework.
