Personal mobility devices have rapidly grown in demand as a new mode of transportation. However, widespread illegal parking has caused problems such as obstructing pedestrian traffic.

To address the issue of indiscriminate illegal parking, Sejong City partnered with LG Electronics to create 109 wireless charging parking lots exclusively for personal mobility devices?107 locations in Life Zones 1 to 3 and 2 locations in Jochiwon-eup. These parking lots can accommodate up to 540 personal mobility devices.

In particular, Sejong City encourages personal mobility users and the general public to install the ‘Pluspot’ app. When users move personal mobility devices left unattended on the street to the parking lots, they receive points as a reward.

The accumulated points can be freely used at nearby convenience stores and coffee shops. Additionally, Sejong City is considering a plan to convert these points into Yeominjeon, a local electronic currency, for use.

Sejong City and LG Electronics plan to steadily increase the number of personal mobility parking lots while continuously expanding the current limited agreement with the operator Jikuro.

Lee Doo-hee, Director of the Construction and Transportation Bureau of Sejong City, said, “We hope that the introduction of personal mobility parking lots will help eradicate the illegal parking problems that have been widespread in the region.”
