Suwon Special City Selected as Top-Grade Local Government in Ministry of Interior and Safety's 'Consumer Coupon Execution Excellence Evaluation'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City was selected as the highest grade (Grade A) in the Ministry of Interior and Safety's 'Consumer Coupon Execution Excellence Evaluation for Local Governments,' securing 200 million won in special transfer tax.

A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on 243 metropolitan and municipal governments nationwide, assessing consumer coupon distribution performance, expanded usage and merchants, improved application and payment convenience, and promotional results.

The city operated a dedicated consumer coupon promotion task force and established dedicated counters with on-site staff deployed. Additional mobile reception counters were set up at comprehensive social welfare centers to increase public accessibility.

The city also simplified the objection procedure and secured 250,000 prepaid cards free of charge to ensure smooth card issuance without inconvenience during distribution. Prepaid cards without denomination distinctions and markings were also secured to enhance user convenience.

The city strengthened accessible administrative services by preparing braille consumer coupon cards and braille guidebooks for all to use. Mobile services were provided to approximately 6,300 people with mobility difficulties, ensuring that citizens unable to visit in person were not left out.

A city official said, "We reduced public inconvenience by expanding reception counters and simplifying processing procedures" and "Through mobile support and braille guidance, we upheld the principle of 'ensuring all citizens receive benefits.'"
