This campaign was organized to strengthen the city’s ability to respond to the energy crisis at the local level by encouraging compliance with the National Energy Saving Action Guidelines and participation in the odd-even car rotation system for private vehicles. The initiative was a joint effort by local governments, public institutions, and civic organizations.

Starting from March 25, Ansan has proactively implemented comprehensive measures to reduce energy consumption, such as operating the odd-even car rotation system for public institution vehicles and strengthening energy-saving management at public office buildings. Beginning April 8, the city will implement a two-day rotation system for public institution vehicles.

With this campaign, the city plans to continue encouraging citizen participation in the private sector to reduce energy costs and promote the widespread adoption of eco-friendly and high-efficiency energy usage practices.

Additionally, in the private sector, the odd-even car rotation system will be applied to annexed parking lots at public offices and select paid public parking lots. This measure applies to passenger cars with up to 10 seats, with entry restrictions based on the last digit of the license plate number on designated days. The system does not apply on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays.

Mayor Min-geun Lee of Ansan stated, "In times of an energy crisis, it is essential for both the public sector and citizens to take action. Small efforts in daily life can make a significant contribution to stable energy supply, so I urge citizens to actively participate."
