In the meantime, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport has supported the local government’s intelligent transportation system (ITS) construction project since 2009 to improve traffic management and communication of local governments and to disseminate tangible high-tech transportation services. A total of KRW 56 billion will be provided for various intelligent transportation system construction projects, such as traffic information collection and provision, a contingency control system using CCTV, smart intersections and crosswalks, and emergency vehicle priority signal systems.
For reference, a total of 54 local governments are currently providing advanced transportation services such as real-time traffic conditions and unexpected information to local residents through traffic information centers, but they are concentrated in special metropolitan cities and metropolitan areas, so the intelligent transportation system (ITS) is There is a need to build and spread.
* ITS traffic information center construction ratio: 100% in special metropolitan cities, 75% in Gyeonggi-do, 16% in local areas
Accordingly, from this year, the local government's intelligent transportation system (ITS) construction support project (implemented in '23) has been reorganized, and the main contents are as follows.

Kim Jong-oh, head of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Digital Road Team, said, “I know that the interest in the intelligent transportation system of the basic local government is growing with Gangneung City hosting the ITS World Congress in 2026.” Since this year, the public offering project has been reorganized to take into account the conditions and characteristics of local governments, so we urge you to actively discover and participate in specialized services that have a great effect on the public.” We plan to continue to strengthen support so that people can enjoy safe and convenient intelligent transportation system (ITS) services in the city.”
