"Realizing Mobility Value for All": Korea Expressway Corporation President Presents New Vision After 5 Years

Vision and Safety Management Implementation Proclamation Ceremony Held at Headquarters on September 14

Yoo Jung-hoon, President of Korea Expressway Corporation, presented the corporation's new vision as "a global No. 1 mobility platform that realizes mobility value for everyone." The corporation explained that this vision embodies a commitment to creating an environment where all citizens, including those with limited mobility, can move safely and conveniently, as well as to connecting data, energy, and mobility to generate new value.

At the Vision 2035 and Safety Management Implementation Proclamation Ceremony held on September 14 at the corporation's headquarters in Gimcheon, President Yoo outlined this direction in connection with the corporation's operations. Yoo, a former university professor who most recently served as President of the Korea Transportation Association, is recognized as an academic who has emphasized basic transportation rights. The corporation previously announced its vision of being "a safe and convenient future transportation platform company" in 2021, and is now presenting this new vision for the first time in five years.

The new vision expresses an ambition to create an environment where all citizens, including those with limited mobility, can move safely and conveniently, and to generate new value in mobility by connecting data, energy, and mobility. To realize this vision, the corporation has identified four core values: safety for all, public responsibility, coexistence, and innovation for the future.

Additionally, the corporation plans to lay the foundation for future mobility by utilizing its existing expressway network. The plan includes building an "energy expressway" that supplies electricity to roads, thereby contributing to the expansion of the national power grid and energy transition. Furthermore, interchanges and service areas—currently functioning as simple facilities—will be upgraded into transit hubs linked to regional transportation, increasing the value of expressway spaces.

The corporation has also presented its safety management policy. The five main objectives are: protecting the lives of the public and employees, creating a safe and pleasant work environment, establishing a voluntary and mature safety culture, complying with safety and health regulations, and building a smart safety system. Korea Expressway Corporation jointly declared its commitment to safety management with 20 subsidiaries and partners.

President Yoo stated, "The vision and safety management policy proclaimed today will not remain as one-time declarations, but the corporation and our partners will continuously strive together to ensure that they are implemented in practice across all worksites."
