Paju is currently formulating the "Paju City Mobility Improvement Plan" in accordance with the "Act on Support for Mobility Innovation and Activation." Through this MOU with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority, the city plans to jointly address local transportation issues by establishing data-driven, customized plans that reflect regional characteristics.
Kim Kyungil, mayor of Paju, said, "I am confident that with Paju's strong commitment to mobility and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority's leadership in mobility policy, we will soon emerge as a leading city in mobility. After the opening of the GTX-A line, we will seize another opportunity for growth through mobility, which is a future growth engine."
