Uijeongbu-si Expands Operation of Hi-Pass Payment System in Public Parking Lots

Mayor Kim Dong-geun is visiting the Baekseokcheon No.1 Underground Parking Lot in Uijeongbu-dong to hear about the operational status of the Hi-Pass payment system.

Uijeongbu City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) announced on the 8th that it will expand the operation of the 'Hi-Pass Payment System' in public parking lots within the city.

The Hi-Pass Payment System, first introduced by Uijeongbu City among public parking lots at the city and county level nationwide, has received positive feedback from customers through six months of operation. The proportion of Hi-Pass payments among daily parking users is also continuously increasing.

The Hi-Pass Payment System eliminates the need for pre-payment, reducing the average exit waiting time by 12 seconds, and allows vehicles to exit without stopping, thereby reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. It can utilize existing lanes without installing separate dedicated lanes, and automatic parking fee payment helps decrease unpaid fees.

Mayor Kim Dong-geun stated, "By the end of the year, we will additionally introduce the Hi-Pass Payment System in public parking lots where it is most effective, and strive to gradually expand Hi-Pass public parking lots by 2026," adding, "We will make it more convenient for citizens to use public parking lots."

Meanwhile, on the 7th, Mayor Kim Dong-geun visited Baekseokcheon 1st Underground Parking Lot in Uijeongbu-dong, which has been operating the Hi-Pass Payment System since April this year. At the site, he received a briefing on the operation of the Hi-Pass Payment System from the Traffic Management Department of Uijeongbu Urban Corporation and personally experienced the non-stop Hi-Pass payment by riding in a vehicle.
