So that disabilities do not hinder travel... Kia Green Travel expands to Jeonbuk

Kia announced on the 5th that it will carry out its social contribution project, Chorok Travel, aimed at improving mobility rights for transportation-vulnerable groups, in Jeollabuk-do.

On the 5th, Jung Eui-chul, Executive Director of Kia Corporate Strategy Office, Lim Sang-gyu, Vice Governor of Jeonbuk Province, Woo Beom-gi, Mayor of Jeonju, Kim Seon-gyu, Chairman of the Green Light Corporation, and Choi Yi-cheon, Chairman of the Jeonju Volunteer Center, held an expansion ceremony for the ‘Kia Chorok Travel Jeonju Office’ at the Korean Traditional Culture Center in Jeonju. Chorok Travel is a project by the company that supports vehicles and other resources for people with disabilities and others who have difficulty moving. Until now, it had been operating in the metropolitan area, Busan, Gwangju, Daejeon, Gangwon, and Jeju, but this time it has been expanded to Jeonbuk.

The Chorok Travel Jeonju Office will begin operations on the 11th. It will provide free vehicle rental services using two specially modified Carnival vehicles that allow people with disabilities to drive themselves. Among the two vehicles, one is a slope-type vehicle that allows easy boarding while seated in a wheelchair. It is convenient for wheelchair users.

There is also a program that supports professional drivers for people with disabilities who have difficulty driving themselves and provides travel expenses by receiving stories in advance. Low-income groups also receive fuel cost support. In cooperation with Jeonbuk Province and Jeonju City, discounts on admission fees to local tourist attractions are available.

Those who wish to use the service can sign up as members and make reservations through the application or website. A company official stated, "Over the past 11 years, we have provided travel opportunities to more than 80,000 people with disabilities and their families," adding, "We will continue to strive to create a ‘sustainable society for all through mobility.’"
