Uijeongbu City Holds Munhyangjae Breakfast Forum on 'Improving Collection Rate of Unpaid Fines'

Uijeongbu City (Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong) held the 270th Munhyangjae Breakfast Forum on April 26 at the Munhyangjae in City Hall, with the theme of "Devising Effective Measures to Improve Collection Rates of Unpaid Parking and Stopping Violation Fines."

The forum, presided over by Lee Gyeong-jae, Director of the Department of Safety, Transportation and Construction, was attended by 15 participants including city policy vision advisors and personnel in charge of fine collection and vehicle registration.

Currently, Uijeongbu City is experiencing a continuous increase in citizen complaints requesting solutions to parking shortages, making it urgent to secure additional parking infrastructure funds. To this end, an active discussion was held to seek more powerful and efficient collection measures for the 18.9 billion won in unpaid parking and stopping violation fines.

Director Lee Gyeong-jae of the Department of Safety, Transportation and Construction emphasized, "While enforcement of parking and stopping violations is important, we should encourage voluntary payment through continuous promotion of the fine reduction system to minimize the occurrence of unpaid fines, make violators clearly aware of their violations to promote compliance and payment consciousness, recruit specialized personnel for fine collection to strengthen staffing, and actively respond to fine collection efforts."
