Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is launching the 'Disabled Vehicle Safety Inspection Support Project' for the first time this year to improve mobility convenience for people with disabilities.

For people with disabilities, a vehicle is not just a means of transportation but a vital link to the world and an important tool to enhance their quality of life.

To support this, Mapo-gu enacted the "Ordinance on Supporting Safety Inspections for Disabled Vehicles in Mapo-gu, Seoul" last year and signed a business agreement with the Seoul Automobile Specialized Maintenance Business Association Mapo-gu Branch on March 4 this year.

The support targets vehicles owned by disabled persons in Mapo-gu that have been issued a parking permit.

Mapo-gu plans to support a total of 300 vehicles this year by accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis for 150 vehicles each in the first and second halves of the year.

Eligible recipients will receive a free safety inspection covering 24 items, including engine condition and fuel leakage.

Additionally, costs for consumables such as bulbs, fuses, oils, washer fluid, and wipers will be supported up to 100,000 KRW.

Residents wishing to receive support in the first half of the year can apply at their local community service center starting March 24, receive a usage voucher, and visit one of the 10 participating maintenance shops for the safety inspection. Reservations must be made by phone before visiting.

For more details about the 'Disabled Vehicle Safety Inspection Support Project,' inquiries can be made to the Disability Welfare Division of Mapo-gu Office.

Mayor Park Gang-su of Mapo-gu said, "The Disabled Vehicle Safety Inspection Support Project will greatly help guarantee mobility rights and ensure safety for people with disabilities," adding, "Mapo-gu will implement more effective disability policies to create a city where people with disabilities can be happy."
