The objectives of the study were to identify how much green transportation impact low carbon city and to examine the programme for green transportation in Bandar Penggaram, Batu Pahat. The study was conducted by using mixed method. The data was collected by using questionnaire, document review and observation. The results showed that the green transportation in Bandar Penggaram mostly were from users of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid cars. By increasing the number of green transportations, the development of infrastructure for the green transportation is needed in order to encourage users to use this transportation. Besides that, future programmes can be drawn to the government in order to encourage more people to use green transportation. The implications of this study show that people need to give their attention to the incentives that the government have proposed to implement and promote green transportation in Malaysia.
