Municipalities in Kayseri and Muğla have introduced transportation support programs aimed at assisting mothers. 

In Kayseri, the Metropolitan Municipality launched the ‘Anne Ulaşım Kartı’ (Mother Transportation Card) as part of the ‘Year of the Family’. This initiative provides mothers who gave birth in 2025 with 40 free intra-city rides and 20 free rides between districts and the city center. 

Muğla Metropolitan Municipality has expanded its ‘Anne Kart’ initiative, granting mothers with children aged 0-4 who hold a Muğla Kart 60 free rides per month. These programs are intended to support low-income families and increase women's participation in social life through predictable transportation access.
