Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) is launching the 'GH Dong·Dong·Car Vehicle Donation Project' to guarantee mobility rights for transportation-vulnerable groups. 'GH Dong·Dong·Car' signifies vehicles that accompany (同, together) GH in motion (動).

On the 21st, GH announced that on the 18th it signed a business agreement with the Gyeonggi Province Association of the Visually Impaired at its headquarters in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City, agreeing to provide a donation of 200 million KRW for the purchase and modification of five vans, including three wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

The Association of the Visually Impaired, having received the donation, will purchase and modify the vehicles and then distribute them to 31 city and county disability life mobility support centers across the province.

GH will support the allocation of new vehicles to underserved areas within the province and the replacement of aging vehicles.

As of 2021, transportation-vulnerable individuals account for about 30% of the total population, approximately 15.5 million people. The supply rate of low-floor buses accessible to wheelchair users and visually impaired persons in Gyeonggi Province (19.2%) is significantly lower compared to Seoul (59.7%).

Kim Se-yong, President of GH, stated, "Starting with this GH Dong·Dong·Car Vehicle Donation Project, we will strive to realize transportation welfare for persons with disabilities and further create an equal and inclusive city where opportunities for social participation by persons with disabilities are guaranteed."
