[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Korea Road Traffic Authority and Sejong Urban Transportation Corporation announced on the 17th that they have signed a business agreement to "improve public transportation safety."

According to this agreement, the Korea Road Traffic Authority will implement a "Safe Driving Certification" program for accident prevention and safety management of Sejong City's public transportation, including BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), intercity buses, and city buses operated by Sejong Urban Transportation Corporation.

The Safe Driving Certification is a comprehensive consulting program that applies the safe driving education system accumulated by the Korea Road Traffic Authority over several years to enhance the traffic safety credibility of vehicle operating companies. Companies that have actually obtained the Safe Driving Certification have achieved results such as an average 39% reduction in traffic accidents and the proportion of risky drivers.

Furthermore, both organizations agreed to actively cooperate in events and promotions to establish a safe traffic culture. Yoon Jong-gi, Chairman of the Korea Road Traffic Authority, emphasized, "Ensuring the safety of public transportation, which is the lifeline for citizens, aligns with the Authority's management policy of respecting life and safety of the people," and added, "We will do our best to create a safe traffic environment so that citizens can use public transportation conveniently and safely."
