[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that it handed over two special transportation call taxis to the Hapcheon-gun branch of the Gyeongnam Association of the Physically Disabled, the entrusted operating agency, in front of the annex of the Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.

Special transportation refers to vehicles equipped with wheelchair boarding facilities to support the mobility of transportation-vulnerable people who experience severe inconvenience in movement. Due to the revision of the Enforcement Rules of the Act on the Promotion of Convenience for Transportation-Disadvantaged Persons, it became necessary to increase the number of special transportation vehicles for the disabled.

The county increased the number of operating vehicles from the existing five to seven, adding two more vehicles so that more transportation-vulnerable people can use special transportation.

Moon Jun-hee, mayor of Hapcheon-gun, said, “I am pleased to add more special transportation vehicles that serve as a means of transportation for the transportation-vulnerable in our county, and I hope this will be an opportunity for more residents to benefit from special transportation.”

Kim Hong-gi, the branch president, said, “We will do our best to operate the special transportation vehicles we received for the transportation-vulnerable.”
