Financial Resource Allocation for Seoul Metropolitan Railway Transfer Center and Connection Transportation Facility

In this paper, the current financial resource allocation principle and issues are studied in the beginning for the metropolitan transfer centers and connection transport facility. In addition to this, foreign cases for this matter are performed for the USA and Japan. Based on the foreign cases, the optimal subsidy ratio of central government is suggested. For the metropolitan transfer centers, at least 50% of subsidy is required from 30% at present and from “necessary costs” to “total costs.” For connection transport facility, 50% for road facility and 70% for railway facility are proposed, which is not supported at all at present. As far as connection transport facility are concerned, resources allocation scheme between local governments has also been proposed in the proportional to the length of connection transport facility of each local government.
