Jeongsook Lee, an employee of Daejeon Transportation Corporation, is making a significant impact in the local community by conducting "visiting traffic safety education" programs for transportation-vulnerable groups such as seniors and people with disabilities, reaching out to approximately 900 individuals annually.

Throughout this year, Jeongsook Lee personally visited police stations, administrative welfare centers, and facilities for people with developmental disabilities to provide tailored traffic safety education. The educational programs targeted children, seniors, and people with disabilities-citizens who are often overlooked when it comes to traffic safety.

Above all, this education went beyond simple lectures, utilizing experiential and participatory methods tailored to the citizens’ perspectives. The sessions covered topics such as: ▲prohibiting jaywalking and safe walking practices ▲safety rules for school zones ▲accident prevention for elderly drivers and guidance on returning driver's licenses ▲safety rules for two-wheeled vehicles ▲and real-life cases related to laws such as the Minsik Law and Hajun Law, all explained in an accessible and warm manner.

Additionally, the program addressed ▲the importance of wearing seat belts when riding in vehicles ▲the need to wear bright clothing ▲crosswalk safety experiences ▲fire response and fire extinguisher usage ▲and how to be cautious of blind spots-delivering practical safety habits that can be immediately applied in daily life in an easy-to-understand way.

In particular, the education program for people with developmental disabilities received a great response, as it was designed with easy-to-understand audiovisual materials and hands-on activities.

Jeongsook Lee stated, "Traffic safety is not just knowledge, but a promise to protect citizens’ lives," adding, "I will continue to work with citizens, believing that small actions can lead to significant changes."

President Yeon Gyuyang commented, "The proactive traffic safety education efforts led by Jeongsook Lee are a model case of spreading a culture of safety through direct communication with citizens, going beyond simple education," adding, "The corporation plans to institutionalize such exemplary cases and to make visiting traffic safety education a regular program going forward."
