서울시 임산부 교통비 지원 신청방법The city of Seoul is proposing various policies to counteract the low birth rate. Among them, the Transportation Expense Support Project for Pregnant Women is a support system that reduces the financial burden of pregnant women who are vulnerable to transportation by providing convenience. Let’s take a closer look at who is eligible for transportation expense support and the amount of transportation expense support.
How to apply for transportation expenses support for pregnant women and use transportation expenses points
We support transportation expenses of 700,000 won per pregnant woman, and can be used for public transportation (bus, subway, taxi), fuel for private vehicles, and railroads (trains).
However, railway reservations can only be used when making reservations through KORAIL’s main website and may not be used on agency sites. After payment, you can immediately check the approval text message, so you can check it thoroughly.
★ Additional information on changes for 2024 ★
Starting in 2024, in order to receive transportation expenses support for pregnant women, applicants must complete online training.
There will be no inconvenience as you can simply watch and complete one online training session of about 9 minutes and 40 seconds related to child rearing. However, if you stop the training midway, you will have to retake it from the beginning, so be careful when watching the lectures.
Easily complete online training
Transportation expenses are supported for pregnant women who have been registered as residents in Seoul for more than 6 months as of the date of application, or foreign pregnant women from multicultural families who have been confirmed to have resided in Seoul for more than 6 months.
It is said that transportation expenses for foreign pregnant women are supported, so I hope many people will benefit from this system. (Except when both spouses are foreigners)
The application deadline is 3 months of pregnancy, that is, from the 12th week of pregnancy to 3 months after childbirth.
The application deadline is approximately one year, divided into periods during pregnancy and after childbirth, and the application method is slightly different accordingly.
For Korean nationals, when applying during pregnancy, you can first apply through the online website ‘Government 24-Easy Pregnancy-Local Government Services-Seoul Transportation Expense Support Project for Pregnant Women’.
Go to Government 24
Go to the convenient pregnancy one-stop service
In the one-stop service, you can apply at the same time as other services such as folic acid, iron supplements, and support for pregnancy and childbirth medical expenses. If you have applied for only other services, you must apply additionally.

If you wish to apply for additional transportation expenses support, you can first receive online training on the Seoul Mom Care website, fill out the subsidy application form, and then apply.

You can apply by visiting the community center in your jurisdiction, but only pregnant women can visit, and since online training is required, we recommend that you apply online first. When visiting, you must bring your ID, pregnancy confirmation, and a cell phone or credit (check) card in your name.
If you want to apply after giving birth, you can access the Seoul Mom Care website and proceed in the same way. The application method for transportation expenses support for foreign pregnant women is the same as for Koreans. However, when applying online or in person, you must additionally attach/bring proof of alien registration, copy of resident registration, and family relationship certificate.
Under this support system, transportation points worth 700,000 won are paid to a credit (check) card in the pregnant woman’s name. When you pay by card, the usage of the points is determined in such a way that they are not deducted from the payment amount, but are deducted from the points.
Most public transportation is covered, and fuel costs for private vehicles are also covered.
However, there are some precautions, so we recommend that you read them before using your points.
※ Notice ※
– Railroad (train): Points can only be used when making reservations on the KORAIL site
– When paying through a ticketing agency site or travel agency, points may be paid with your own credit card rather than deducted.
– If you cancel your train reservation after approval, the fee will be deducted from your points (however, you need to check with the card company’s different operation method)
– Electric vehicle charging may not be applicable to affiliated stores depending on the conditions of each credit card company.
When applying during pregnancy, transportation points can be used from the date of voucher application, that is, from the date the points are paid, and can be used up to 6 months from the expected date of delivery.
If you apply after giving birth, you can use it for up to 6 months from the child’s birth date (child’s resident registration date).
