Gwangju City Announces Call for Subsidized Project Operators for 'Gwangju-type Public Transportation Citizen Practice Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 18th that it will publicly recruit subsidy project operators for the 'Gwangju-type Public Transportation Citizen Practice Project.'

The 'Gwangju-type Public Transportation Citizen Practice Project' is implemented to increase citizens' interest and understanding of public transportation by operating a public-private consultative body, running privately-led public transportation experience programs, holding forums to promote public transportation use, and conducting campaigns to eradicate illegal parking and prevent school zone safety accidents.

Gwangju City plans to select the final subsidy project operator through procedures including public announcement until the 3rd of next month, internal evaluation by the Public Transportation Division, proposal evaluation committee review, and final evaluation by the city subsidy review committee.

Eligibility for participation requires being a nonprofit corporation or nonprofit private organization located in Gwangju City as of the announcement date, with at least one record of traffic-related citizen practice projects in the past two years (2019?2020).

The selected project operator will carry out the project from April to December.

Son Doo-young, head of the Public Transportation Division, said, “With the opening of Urban Railway Line 2, a revolutionary change is expected in Gwangju City's public transportation transfer system,” and added, “We hope this project will activate citizens' use of public transportation.”
