[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-seong] Suwon Special City has been selected as the top-rated city in the 'Bicycle Usage Activation Policy Municipal Evaluation' led by Gyeonggi Province, following its 2022 selection, and received a provincial governor's commendation and prize money of 16 million won.

Last year, Suwon was selected as an excellent institution in the '2024 Bicycle Usage Activation Policy Evaluation' led by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and received the Presidential Award.

Gyeonggi Province evaluated and selected excellent cities and counties from 31 municipalities based on bicycle accident prevention systems, policy implementation outcomes for promoting usage, and the adoption level of outstanding initiatives.

Suwon received the highest score among all 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province and was awarded the top commendation. The city received high marks for operating 'designated parking zones' starting in May 2025 to resolve shared bicycle parking order issues, as well as for expanding safety education at the Manseok Park bicycle practice area.

A city official stated, "This top rating reflects the outcomes of policies implemented with citizen safety as the top priority," and added, "We will continue to make efforts so that citizens can use bicycles more safely and conveniently."
