The Korea Transportation Safety Authority, known as TS, said April 23 it won the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award in the safety management category at the Korea Creative Management 2026 awards ceremony held at The Plaza Hotel in Seoul.
TS said it received the honor for helping spread a traffic safety culture through its governmentwide “Accident-Free Today” campaign.
The agency said it has been running the campaign at major transportation hubs nationwide. Since last year, it has held on-site events at key locations including Seoul Station, Incheon International Airport, Daejeon Complex Terminal and Gimpo Airport, drawing about 20,000 visitors and securing safety pledges from about 10,000 participants.
Working with its 14 regional headquarters, TS said it conducted the campaign 548 times, targeting pedestrians as well as motorcycle and bus drivers.
TS also said it designated Gimcheon as “Accident-Free Today City No. 1” and promoted six safety rules at high-traffic facilities such as Gimcheon-Gumi Station, other public facilities, and cultural and sports venues.
This year, TS said it again held an on-site campaign tied to the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee’s 13th GIVE ’N RACE marathon event on April 5 in the area around Gwangalli Beach in Busan, with about 20,000 people taking part.
TS President Jeong Yong-sik said the award recognized employees’ efforts to expand traffic safety culture and create a safer, more convenient transportation environment.
“TS will continue to pursue its management vision as a safe mobility partner that protects everyone’s daily lives, and do its best to prevent traffic accidents and ensure public traffic safety,” Jeong said.
