“Seoul, a city whose advanced transportation network makes private car ownership unnecessary!”
① Creating a pedestrian-oriented traffic environment
② Creating a bicycle-centered environment
③ Realizing a ‘Road Safety Conscious Metropolitan City’
④ Creating obstacle-free traffic conditions and providing services that everyone can use
⑤ Constructing an efficient railway-centered public transportation system
⑥ Providing fast and convenient public transport services
⑦ Promoting the Common Sharing Traffic culture, a culture of sharing road space and transportation
⑧ Lowering the unnecessary movement, 'low mobility society'
⑨ Transforming the transportations and facilities into environment-friendly transports
⑩ Creating a clear congestion-free traffic environment
⑪ Communicating and reaching a consensus with the public throughout the whole process of the government's promotion and establishment of its traffic policies will result in the creation of an advanced, citizen-oriented, 'traffic-culture city.'
In order to embody the 「People-Oriented Traffic」 policy, our government plans to promote a pedestrian-first and bicycle-friendly lifestyle, which it is hoped will result in a dramatic reduction in the number of traffic-related accidents.

Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to reorganize the public transport systems and establish a road space/car sharing culture throughout the entire city in a bid to realize 「All Sharing Traffic」.
⑤ Constructing an efficient railway-centered public transportation system
⑥ Providing fast and convenient public transport services
⑦ Promoting the Common Sharing Traffic culture, a culture of sharing road space and transportation
To establish an 「Environment-Friendly Traffic Culture」, the rate of car distribution will need to be reduced from 18.4% → 10%, existing public cars will need to be transformed into/replaced by environment-friendly cars (0.2% → 100%), and traffic congestion on highways will need to be reduced from 19%→10%.
⑧ Lowering the unnecessary movement, 'low mobility society'
⑨ Transforming the transportations and facilities into environment-friendly transports
⑩ Creating a clear congestion-free traffic environment with no severance of roads (UNCLEAR!)
⑪ Communicating and reaching a consensus with the public throughout the whole process of the government's promotion and establishment of its traffic policies will result in the creation of an advanced, citizen-oriented, 'traffic-culture city.'
Seoul city will keep its eleven promises based on its 『Seoul Traffic Vision 2030 (proposal)』in order to achieve the 'Triple 30', namely, a 30% reduction in car travel, a 30% reduction in commuting times by public transport, and a 30% rise in the use of green transport. Therefore, an increase in the rate of green transport (walking, cycling, public transport) distribution, from 70% to 80%, and a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions from 1.2 tons per year to 0.8 tons per year are anticipated by 2030 as a result of the implementation of this vision.
Seoul’s complicated and inconvenient traffic situation has been resolved by the creation of an advanced city transportation system in the last 20 years. We now look forward to the success of our new vision under which Seoul will serve as a compass to lead the next 20 years, and evolve into a convenient public transportation city where the ownership of private cars will be rendered obsolete by 2030.
