[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Korea Road Traffic Authority and the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the 19th to create a safe working environment for delivery workers and to promote a desirable traffic culture.

Through this agreement, both organizations agreed to cooperate in administrative support necessary for delivery worker safety education, awareness improvement campaigns for establishing a safe traffic culture, and other promotional events.

The Korea Road Traffic Authority will organize educational courses to cultivate traffic safety awareness among delivery workers and provide instructors, while the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation will be responsible for recruiting delivery workers who wish to receive education and providing training venues.

The education is prepared as a specialized course for delivery workers, including content for two-wheeled vehicle drivers within the Authority’s existing penalty reduction education, and also offers training to cultivate safety education instructors for two-wheeled vehicle drivers.

Furthermore, both organizations will collaborate to create jobs in the traffic sector within Gyeonggi-do for holders of special traffic licenses, professional driving instructors, and middle-aged workers.

Kim Man-bae, Head of Education at the Korea Road Traffic Authority, stated, "With the increase in two-wheeled vehicle traffic accidents, the working environment for delivery workers is becoming more dangerous. The two organizations will combine their capabilities to foster traffic safety awareness among delivery workers and to establish a safe delivery ecosystem."
