Seoul City to Establish Four 'Green School Routes' This Year for Simultaneous Prevention of Fine Dust and Traffic Accidents

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 18th that it will continue to promote the school commuting route greening project this year, which was piloted in 2018 to reduce fine dust and prevent traffic accidents frequently occurring around school commuting routes. This year's target sites include the commuting routes (1.3 km) of Seoul Galsan Elementary School (Yangcheon-gu), Seoul Yangwon Elementary School (Yangcheon-gu), and Seoul Oryu Elementary School (Guro-gu).

The Green Dream Commuting Route Project is a greening project for school commuting routes linked with Audi Volkswagen Korea's social contribution activities, with an agreement signed on January 22, 2019. Additionally, the Child Safety Green Forest Project is a nationwide expansion of Seoul's school commuting route greening project, benchmarked by the Korea Forest Service starting this year.

Choi Yoon-jong, Director of the Green City Bureau, stated, “We will continue to pay attention and promote this project so that students, the protagonists of future generations, can grow up in a better environment.”
