Jeon Seung-il, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Selected for Government Active Administration 'Best Practice'

Jeon Seung-il, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, announced on the 29th that the 'Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle Service' was selected as an excellent case of shadow and behavioral regulation improvement through proactive administration by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The excellent case is a service that expanded the wheelchair-equipped vehicle sharing service, originally implemented for elderly people with mobility difficulties, to be available to people with disabilities nationwide for the first time through an ordinance amendment.

Councilman Jeon said, “It is necessary to expand opportunities for leisure activities for people with mobility difficulties to promote harmony and communication between generations,” adding, “With this excellent case selection, I hope the Hyoka service becomes better known so that more elderly and disabled people can enjoy leisure time and create memories with their families.”

This evaluation was conducted through the first internal assessment by the Local Regulation Innovation Division of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the second external expert evaluation, examining efforts during the implementation process, improvement effects, and the possibility of spreading to other local governments.

Meanwhile, the ordinance titled ‘Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Mobility-Impaired Elderly Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle Sharing Use Ordinance,’ which Councilman Jeon sponsored, was enacted in August 2020 and is being implemented nationwide for the first time as the ‘Centenarian Youth! Happy Companionship! Gwangju Seo-gu Hyoka!’ project.
