Construction and Transportation Committee Visits Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center
This site visit was conducted to develop measures to address the future role of the province in linking and supporting the mobility support centers of cities and counties at the broader metropolitan level, while currently basic local governments are operating their own transportation disadvantaged mobility support centers by municipality.
Park Dong-woo, Chairman of the Gyeonggi Provincial Council's Construction and Transportation Committee, emphasized that "the mobility rights of transportation disadvantaged persons are their right to survival, making the role of center officials crucial," and urged them to "make efforts so that they can live as active members of society."
During the visit to the Suwon City Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center, members of the Construction and Transportation Committee received briefings on special transportation vehicle operations and agreed that the operation of the transportation disadvantaged mobility support center is an issue that deserves greater attention from our society. They urged relevant officials of the executive branch to make continuous efforts to fulfill the roles that the province should undertake for transportation disadvantaged persons.
Meanwhile, the Suwon City Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center began operations in March 2010 with 12 special transportation vehicles and 30 general taxis. Currently, it operates 28 special transportation vehicles and 50 general taxis, serving as the transportation backbone for disadvantaged citizens in Suwon and adjacent areas.
After completing the visit to the Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center, Construction and Transportation Committee members subsequently visited the Gyeonggi Provincial Transportation Training Institute located in Jowon-dong, Suwon, and observed new transportation business personnel training.
