Hong Jee-sun Vice Minister for Transport

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plays a vital role in shaping policies that have a direct impact on people’s daily lives, particularly in housing stability, commuting convenience, and mobility. Recognizing this responsibility, we are committed to delivering tangible improvements that meet the expectations of the public.

To promote balanced growth between the capital area and other regions, we will pursue a balanced expansion and enhancement of the national transport network. At the same time, we will work to improve transport services for all by reducing transport costs and enhancing accessibility for disadvantaged groups.

We will lead the growth of future mobility industries, including autonomous vehicles, drones, and urban air mobility (UAM), while accelerating innovation to ensure that advancements in future mobility bring meaningful benefits to the public.

Accident prevention and safety remain our top priority. We will strive to create a transport environment where both the public and transport workers can travel with confidence and a sense of security.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will continue to build public trust and steadily foster new growth engines for the future.

Thank you.
