Mileage up to 70,000 Points Awarded Based on Passenger Car Mileage Reduction Performance

Seoul City Unifies 'Passenger Car Day System' to 'Passenger Car Mileage System' Starting July 9

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seoul City announced on the 16th that the 'Passenger Car Day-of-the-Week System,' which had a six-month grace period after being abolished in January, will be completely terminated on the 8th of next month and unified into the 'Passenger Car Mileage System.'

Introduced in 2017, the Passenger Car Mileage System is a program that provides incentives to vehicles that effectively reduce their driving distance. If the driving distance is reduced compared to the previous year's annual mileage, participants can receive up to 70,000 points based on their performance.

The accumulated mileage points can be used to pay local taxes such as automobile tax, purchase mobile book and cultural gift certificates, or be donated to various causes.

The eligible participants are owners of non-commercial passenger cars or vans with 12 seats or fewer registered in Seoul, and they can sign up through the Seoul Passenger Car Mileage website (https://driving-mileage.seoul.go.kr) or by visiting a nearby district office or community service center.

Ahead of the termination of the Passenger Car Day-of-the-Week System benefits, the city is encouraging existing members to switch to the Passenger Car Mileage System and is also conducting special enrollment events for the general public.

Until the 3rd of next month, existing Day-of-the-Week members who switch to the Mileage System or new members who sign up will receive a mobile gift certificate worth 3,000 KRW, limited to the first 3,500 applicants. Additionally, if the initial photo (vehicle license plate and odometer reading) is registered within 14 days of enrollment, an extra 3,000 mileage points will be awarded.

Passenger Car Mileage members who participate in refraining from driving during fine dust emergency reduction measures can also earn 3,000 points per participation after verification of supporting documents.

Meanwhile, Seoul City is enhancing convenience for citizens by shortening the mileage payment processing period during fine dust emergency reduction measures and improving the Passenger Car Mileage website.
