Expansion of Benefits for Families with Multiple Children in Busan
Busan City has decided to significantly strengthen its support policies for families with multiple children. Starting from May 15, 2026, families with two children in the Busan area will also be eligible for a 50% discount on the toll for the Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
Previously, only families with three or more children were exempt from the full toll, but through this policy expansion, approximately 120,000 two-child families will receive additional benefits.
Since 2023, Busan City has changed the criteria for multiple children to two and has implemented various supporting policies such as parking fee discounts at public parking lots, reduced fees for sports centers, and educational support points. This toll reduction measure is considered an important policy that effectively alleviates the economic burden of raising children.
Change in Gwangandaegyo Toll
According to the recently implemented policy, the Gwangandaegyo toll for families with two children has been reduced from 1,000 won to 500 won. In particular, vehicles that have completed high-pass pre-registration will receive an additional discount, bringing the toll down to 400 won.
On the other hand, families with three or more children will continue to be exempt from the toll without any changes.
In summary, families with three or more children will not pay any toll, while families with two children will receive a 50% discount. Vehicles registered for high-pass will receive an even cheaper rate due to the additional discount.
Benefits are not automatically applied to all vehicles. To receive the discount, you must obtain a vehicle sticker and complete the pre-registration process.
Moreover, vehicles unrelated to raising multiple children are excluded from the support program. For example, this includes corporate cars, business-use vehicles, cars registered under the names of acquaintances, general rental cars, and some personal business vehicles. However, rental or lease vehicles contracted under the names of family members of a multiple-child household can be registered after verifying supporting documents.
How to Apply for Gwangandaegyo Exemption
If you want to receive a toll exemption for Gwangandaegyo, you must first visit the Administrative Welfare Center in Busan.
Then, you need to proceed with the necessary procedures.
To obtain a vehicle sticker for families with multiple children in Busan, you must visit the Administrative Welfare Center.
The required documents for application are as follows:
First, you need the Family Love Card for families with multiple children; second, the vehicle registration document must also be presented. Finally, you must prepare an identification card to verify your identity.
This sticker is issued only for non-business vehicles, which include passenger cars, vehicles with up to 12 seats, and cargo vehicles under 1 ton.
You can start pre-registration on the Gwangandaegyo homepage. Registration can be done the day after the vehicle sticker is issued.
The required input fields include vehicle number, high-pass card number, and refund account information. Once registered, the toll discount will be automatically applied when passing through Gwangandaegyo.
Cautions for High-Pass Usage
One of the key elements of this policy is the pre-registration status of the high-pass. If you are using a prepaid high-pass and do not register in advance, refunds may be difficult, so caution is needed. Therefore, after obtaining the vehicle sticker, it is advisable to register the refund account on the Gwangandaegyo homepage.
Moreover, if the vehicle sticker has not been issued, regular fees may be charged; thus, it is important to note that being a family with multiple children does not automatically apply the discount.
In particular, families residing in Suyeong-gu, Haeundae-gu, Nam-gu, and Dongnae-gu, who frequently use Gwangandaegyo, are expected to save a significant amount of money in the long term.
Overview of Busan's Childbirth Support Policy
Busan City is actively strengthening its support policies for childbirth and childcare.
In particular, the discount on Gwangandaegyo toll is not just a one-time event but is regarded as an important policy aimed at relieving the transportation cost burden of families with multiple children.
Busan City's expansion of benefits to families with two children from the previous three-child policy reflects the future direction of its policies in response to low birth rates.
In particular, it is advisable for Busan citizens who frequently use Gwangandaegyo to obtain vehicle stickers and register on the homepage before the implementation date of May 15.
