Over 1,500 Schools and Educational Institutions in Gyeonggi Province Offer Free Parking During Chuseok Holiday

The Gyeonggi Province Office of Education (Superintendent An Min-seok) will open parking lots at subordinate educational institutions and schools free of charge during the Chuseok holiday to accommodate parking needs of people returning to their hometowns and local residents visiting Gyeonggi Province.

The free parking period will run for four days, from September 24 to September 27, when the Chuseok holiday begins.

Participating facilities include the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education headquarters, its affiliated organizations, education support offices, libraries, training centers and other subordinate educational institutions, as well as schools throughout the province, totaling approximately 1,500 locations. Operating hours will be flexibly managed according to conditions at each school or institution, with some facilities providing all-day access.

Information about the locations and details of free parking lots will be available from September 23 in the afternoon—one day before the holiday—through 'Gonghyu Nuri' (a national public resource sharing and opening service), as well as through Naver Map, Kakao Map, Tmap, iNavi Air, and Hyundai Navigation.

Users of the parking lots must leave their contact information on the front of their vehicle to prepare for emergencies. Additionally, given that parking is for educational facilities used by students, users must exercise special care in preventing student safety accidents and must comply with usage rules, including prohibitions on damaging facilities and illegal dumping of garbage.

The Gyeonggi Province Office of Education plans to continue practicing open educational administration by opening parking spaces at educational institutions and schools during the Chuseok holiday to reduce parking inconvenience for people returning to their hometowns and local residents, while sharing educational facilities with the community.
