With the enforcement of this ordinance, independence patriots will be exempt from parking fees for usage within 12 hours at public parking lots, and if usage exceeds 12 hours, a 50% discount will be applied to daily and monthly parking passes. For multi-child families, the benefits have been expanded from the existing 50% discount on parking fees to now include 2 hours of free parking followed by a 50% discount on the remaining fees. Organ and tissue donors will receive a 50% discount on parking fees, but those wishing to donate are not eligible.

This discount measure was prepared to honor independence patriots, reduce the economic burden on multi-child families, and promote the culture of organ and tissue donation.

To receive the discount benefits, individuals must present documentation proving their status when paying parking fees at public parking lots. Independence patriots must present a national veterans registration card, multi-child families must show a Gyeonggi I-PLUS card or a multi-child vehicle sticker issued by Seongnam City, and organ and tissue donors must provide relevant certificates.

A Seongnam City official stated, “We will continue to prepare policies that support citizens during prolonged economic downturns.”
