The Seoul Metropolitan Government recently announced a new policy to address air pollution issues. This policy aims to encourage the use of public transportation and reduce automobile emissions.
Key elements of the policy include lowering public transportation fares, expanding electric vehicle charging stations, and establishing vehicle-restricted zones in the city center. Seoul aims to reduce air pollution by 30% by 2025 through these measures.
A Seoul city official stated that this policy would significantly help protect citizens’ health and improve the environment. The official also urged citizens to actively participate and cooperate.
The policy has already received positive evaluations from various experts and is likely to be benchmarked by other cities.
