Paju City is pursuing initiatives to improve transportation and infrastructure for its residents. The city is working toward a plan to eliminate bridge tolls on the Ilsan Bridge during peak commuting hours for vehicles registered in Paju, Goyang, and Gimpo. 

Under the proposed plan, the city would share the remaining 50% of toll costs—not currently covered by Gyeonggi Province—with participating cities based on traffic volume. Paju estimates its annual share of these costs will be approximately 1 billion KRW. Additionally, the city is seeking full toll removal on the bridge, supported by a 500 million KRW feasibility study allocated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
