Daejeon City Secures 10.4 Billion Won Lottery Fund for Next Year, 'All-Time High'
[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City has secured 10.394 billion KRW from the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s lottery fund. This fund is scheduled to be used for next year’s ‘Transportation-Disadvantaged Love Sharing Call Operation Project,’ which has increased by 1.772 billion KRW (20.6%) compared to this year. This is the highest amount ever since receiving the lottery fund in 2017.
According to the city on the 6th, the lottery fund was established to return resources generated from lottery projects to society as public interest projects, in accordance with the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act enacted in 2004.
Daejeon ranked 3rd in the transportation-disadvantaged category in the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s Lottery Fund Project Performance Evaluation this year, resulting in an increase in the lottery fund.
The city’s Transportation-Disadvantaged Love Sharing Call Operation Project focuses on guaranteeing the mobility rights of transportation-disadvantaged individuals and promoting their social participation.
The project targets include ▲people with walking disabilities ▲elderly people aged 65 or older who have difficulty walking ▲pregnant women, and can be used after registering as members of the Transportation-Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center. The service area covers all of Daejeon and adjacent regions such as Gongju, Nonsan, Gyeryong, Cheongju, Geumsan, Okcheon, and Sejong.
The city plans to invest next year’s lottery fund in operating 96 wheelchair-exclusive vehicles, 90 rented taxis among non-wheelchair vehicles, and 150 voucher taxis to enhance the mobility convenience of transportation-disadvantaged individuals.
