Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Announces 'Public Idea' Contest for National Railway Network Construction Plan
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will conduct a public idea contest from the 4th to the 17th as part of the establishment of the '4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan,' which has been underway since July last year.
The National Railroad Network Construction Plan is the highest-level statutory plan in the railway sector, established every 10 years and reviewed every 5 years to realize the future railroad network of Korea. It includes the vision and goals of the national railroad network, mid- to long-term railroad construction and investment plans, and sector-specific project plans.
The theme of this idea contest is the vision and goals of the national railroad network. It aims to broadly collect public opinions on the future image and aspirations of Korea's railroads, the core values and roles that future railroads should embody, and the direction of railroad investment policies.
The public idea contest can be participated in through the contest link posted on the Korea Transport Institute website, the research agency conducting the study for the 4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan, for two weeks starting from the 4th. Participation is also possible through the websites of Korea Railroad Corporation and Korea Rail Network Authority.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will also hold an in-person seminar around mid-month for members of 'major online railroad clubs,' who have high interest and professional knowledge about railroads.
