Sejong City Supports New Vehicle Purchase Costs for LPG Children's School Transport Vehicles

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City announced on the 14th that it will accept applications for the ‘LPG Children’s School Bus Purchase Subsidy’ from the 17th to the 26th.

The support is provided to owners (including those planning to register) or co-owners of children’s school buses who intend to purchase medium-sized LPG passenger cars or vans with 9 to 15 seats for the purpose of transporting children to school.

The total number of vehicles supported is 10, with a subsidy of 7 million KRW per vehicle.

Eligibility for the subsidy is granted when the address on the registration certificate of the children’s school bus is registered in Sejong City, according to Article 52 of the Road Traffic Act.

Also, this year, the subsidy will be provided for purchasing LPG school buses regardless of whether the existing diesel vehicle has been scrapped.

The city plans to select applicants on a first-come, first-served basis, and priority will be given to children’s school buses registered in fine dust concentrated management zones such as Jukrim-ri, Jochiwon-eup, and Bugang-ri, Bugang-myeon.

Yang Wan-sik, Director of the Environmental Greenery Bureau of the city, said, “We ask for the interest and participation of local daycare centers and academy operators in the LPG Children’s School Bus Purchase Subsidy project.”
