Pocheon City Mayor Baek Young-hyun said on November 11 that it is important to broadly convey residents’ views on local transportation conditions and the need to expand the rail network in connection with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s development of the “5th National Railway Network Construction Plan (2026–2035).”

The plan sets the direction for the development of the national rail network over the next 10 years. The survey was designed to gather public opinions on the priorities of national rail policy, the level of rail services in their areas of residence, the need to increase rail investment, and the allocation of investment among regions.

The survey also includes an open-ended question asking respondents what should be prioritized for rail investment. Residents can describe transportation inconveniences they regularly experience and suggest specific rail routes or projects needed in their area.

A public consultation event hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and organized by the Korea Transport Institute will be held on November 13 in the main conference room of the Korea Specialty Contractors Association building in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. The event will include a presentation by the Korea Transport Institute, presentations of local government views, a panel discussion with experts, and a public consultation.

A Pocheon City official said, “Expanding the metropolitan rail network, including the GTX-G line, is an important task for improving residents’ transportation convenience and laying the foundation for the region’s future growth. We ask for your interest and participation so that you can share your views on Pocheon’s transportation realities and the rail projects the area needs.”

Residents can take part in the survey by scanning the QR code in the event notice.
