Currently, about 280,000 people have signed up for the service, with more than 6,000 advance notification messages sent out each month. Considering that there are approximately 142,000 registered vehicles in the district, a significant portion of residents are benefiting from the service.

The district strengthened its promotional efforts in the first half of this year through banners, district newsletters, and notification messages, resulting in an increase of more than 12,000 subscribers compared to the previous year. In the second half of the year, on-site promotional activities were conducted at civil defense education venues, leading to an additional 1,000 registrations.

Residents can apply for the service through the 'Integrated Registration Assistant for Parking Violation Notification Service' app, the district office website, or by visiting the Parking Culture Division in person. Notifications for unauthorized parking in resident-priority parking zones can be applied for separately through the Yeongdeungpo-gu Facilities Management Corporation website.

Choi Hokwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "It is the role of administration to create services that are truly necessary from the residents' perspective," adding, "I hope more residents will utilize this service to reduce inconvenience and help create a safer traffic environment."
