Mayor Lee stated, "On the 14th, the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test will be conducted at 28 testing sites across Goyang City, with over 13,000 examinees taking the exam. As this is the greatest milestone in their lives evaluating 12 years of study, warm administration that cares for and embraces the students is necessary."

Mayor Lee also announced, "We will establish an emergency cooperation system with the Office of Education, police, fire department, and youth organizations to provide comprehensive support for examinees in three main areas: traffic and transportation, noise control, and response to natural disasters and safety accidents."

As part of traffic and transportation measures, additional city and village buses will be deployed during the examinees' commuting hours, and illegal parking near test sites will be monitored starting the day before the exam to ensure smooth vehicle flow. For noise control, demolition and civil engineering work near test sites will be temporarily suspended, and public transportation such as buses and taxis will be encouraged to refrain from using horns and to drive slowly.

Mayor Lee emphasized, "We must create an atmosphere that warmly embraces examinees after they finish the test. For youths who are psychologically distressed, counseling program support will be provided. On the evening of the CSAT day, we will cooperate with the local community to conduct guidance to prevent accidents in crowded areas. Additionally, since government offices will start work one hour later by adjusting their opening times, active promotion to citizens is necessary to avoid confusion or inconvenience in handling civil complaints."

Mayor Lee reviewed winter citizen safety measures and said, "It is time to prepare for severe cold and snow removal. We must thoroughly check the response manual, emergency contact system, pre-inspection of snow removal equipment, and sufficient stock of de-icing agents to ensure immediate response even during vulnerable times such as early morning and commuting hours when it snows."

He added, "To prevent large-scale fire damage during winter, joint inspections with related agencies should be conducted targeting fire-prone areas such as traditional markets and residential vinyl greenhouse clusters to establish meticulous safety measures. District offices and community welfare centers should continuously monitor and care for vulnerable groups, such as elderly living alone who suffer from the cold, so they can spend a safe and warm winter."
