Yeongdeungpo-gu, 30% Discount on Public Parking Fees for Long-term Service Veterans

Ordinance Amended to Expand Welfare and Honors for Long-term Service Veterans, Providing Legal Basis for Support
Effective from April 10... Honoring Dedication to the Nation with Practical Benefits

Choi Ho-gwon, Yeongdeungpo District Mayor

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will actively promote parking fee discounts at public parking lots to support the smooth social reintegration and livelihood stabilization of long-term service veterans.

On April 10, the district partially amended the 'Yeongdeungpo-gu Parking Lot Installation and Management Ordinance' to establish a basis for providing a 30% discount on parking fees when long-term service veterans use public parking lots within the district.

Additionally, the discount rate for 'Byeongyeok Myeongmun-ga'?families with three generations all serving as active-duty military personnel and discharged after full service?was increased from 20% to 30%, strengthening overall respect for veterans.

According to the 'Act on Support for Veterans,' long-term service veterans who have served on active duty for more than 10 years and were discharged as officers, warrant officers, or non-commissioned officers are eligible for the discount. Benefits can be received by presenting a national veterans registration card when using public parking lots.

This ordinance amendment is a system designed to provide practical respect to soldiers who have dedicated themselves to protecting the nation. Previously, the district enacted the 'Ordinance on the Installation and Operation of Priority Parking Spaces for National Merit Recipients' last year, establishing grounds to install priority parking spaces at public offices and facilities with more than 100 parking spaces. Priority parking spaces for national merit recipients were created at 12 public parking lots to enhance user convenience.

Along with this, the district is implementing various policies to improve convenience and strengthen respect for national veterans, including ▲free use of funeral hall mortuary rooms?the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts ▲support for veterans’ honor allowances ▲subsidies for veterans’ organizations’ pilgrimage events to historic sites.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "It is time for the local community to repay the soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the country," adding, "We will continue to strive to ensure that a healthy and mature culture of honoring veterans takes root in everyday life."
