Fixed or Portable Ramps at Main Entrances, Full Coverage of Production and Installation Costs
Free Inspection Service for 3 Years...Apply by Visit or Phone by October 31

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is supporting the installation of ramps in small-scale, community-based facilities to improve mobility convenience for people with disabilities.

Customized ramps will be provided for neighborhood living facilities such as restaurants, pharmacies, and convenience stores. This project was promoted considering the mobility challenges faced by vulnerable pedestrians using wheelchairs due to entrance height differences.

The target is small-scale businesses with a total floor area of less than 300㎡. Depending on the structure of the first-floor facility, either fixed or portable ramps can be selected. The products used have anti-slip features and gentle slopes to prevent safety accidents.

Installation is possible at one main entrance, and the costs are fully supported. After ramp installation, free inspection services are available for three years. Applications can be submitted by visiting the Gwangjin-gu Disability Convenience Promotion Technology Support Center (209 Jayang-ro) with the required documents or by phone until October 31.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We have implemented the ramp installation support project to guarantee the mobility rights and enhance the safety of vulnerable pedestrians,” adding, “We will strive to create a convenient living environment without barriers by promoting convenience for people with disabilities.”

Meanwhile, last year, the district supported 67 businesses including restaurants, real estate agencies, and cafes. This year, it plans to assist 60 locations with ramp installation to strengthen mobility convenience for people with disabilities.
