The National Disability Rights Solidarity Jeonbuk Branch and the Jeonbuk Alliance for the Elimination of Disability Discrimination issued a statement on the 1st welcoming the revision of the operating regulations for the regional mobility support center in Jeollabuk-do while urging for fundamental improvements to ensure the rights of disabled individuals.

On August 22, Jeollabuk-do revised its operating regulations to remove the requirement for a guardian to accompany when using special transportation. While some metropolitan governments such as Gyeonggi, Jeonbuk, and Jeonnam had previously required guardian accompaniment, the evaluation is that Jeollabuk-do has now aligned with national standards through this revision. The organizations expressed their approval, stating, "Although belated, we welcome the correction of the mistake."

However, the organizations pointed out that the reality of mobility rights is still poor. In the statement, they emphasized that "Many disabled individuals in Jeollabuk-do often wait for up to four hours to go to the hospital. It is difficult even to receive timely treatment, which is the reality," and stressed that "Mobility rights are fundamental rights that must be guaranteed to enjoy basic human rights."

In particular, they criticized the fact that despite multiple requests for the recruitment of an additional 2.5 drivers to alleviate the waiting time for special transportation, Jeollabuk-do's response has always been "there is no budget." The organizations raised their voices, stating, "The perspective that views the budget for non-disabled citizens as an investment while considering the budget for the rights of disabled citizens as a mere favor is problematic," and added, "Such an attitude further darkens the local community."
