National Development and Reform Commission: Strive to achieve 95% completion rate of the main skeleton of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network by 2030

China News Service, November 4th. The National Development and Reform Commission held a series of press conferences on the “15th Five-Year Plan” on the morning of the 4th to introduce the situation of consolidating development support. Xia Xin, director of the Department of Infrastructure Development, said that my country's transportation scale and capacity have basically adapted to the needs of economic and social development, and will shift to high-quality development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.

A reporter asked at the meeting: Transportation is the pioneer of Chinese-style modernization. The "Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan" proposes to improve the modern comprehensive transportation system. What plans and arrangements are there in the specific process?

Xia Xin said that in terms of thinking, there are four main clarifications. First, it is clear that the primary principle is to adhere to moderate advancement and not excessive advancement. Second, it is clear that promoting high-quality development of transportation will be the main theme. Third, it is clear that the main path will be to improve the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network and promote integration, safety improvement, digital intelligence upgrade, and green transformation. Fourth, it is clear that the overall goal is to basically build a modern comprehensive transportation system.

In terms of measures, there are mainly five major tasks. The first is to improve the infrastructure layout. Accelerate the construction of strategic backbone corridors along the coast, borders and rivers, out of Xinjiang and Tibet, and the New Western Land-Sea Corridor, improve the comprehensive transportation hub system, improve coverage and accessibility in the western and border areas, improve the international transportation corridor system, and strive to achieve a completion rate of 95% of the main skeleton of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network by 2030.

The second is to optimize the transportation structure. Promote the upgrading and upgrading of old facilities and the expansion and intelligence of facilities with limited capacity, implement the inter-city commuting efficiency improvement project in metropolitan areas and a new round of rural road improvement actions, develop multimodal transport and specialized freight, and strive to achieve a one-hour change rate of 90% of multimodal transport in key comprehensive freight hubs by 2030. At the same time, we will adapt to changes in population size and age structure, strengthen the construction of aging-friendly and child-friendly travel environments, and promote the construction, renovation and equipment configuration of barrier-free facilities. For example, we will actively promote telephone railway ticket booking services for elderly passengers.

The third is to enhance security capabilities. Improve safety redundancy and disaster prevention and disaster resistance design, strengthen monitoring, early warning and emergency rescue capabilities, implement traffic safety resilience improvement projects, and strive to have 100% coverage of key risk road sections and bridge monitoring and early warning facilities by 2030, and complete the reinforcement, renovation and renovation of approximately 2,000 dilapidated railway bridges.

The fourth is to accelerate smart green transformation. We will build approximately 25,000 kilometers of digital and smart transportation corridors and approximately 35,000 kilometers of zero-carbon transportation corridors, create a number of new scenarios for the integrated development of transportation energy, and promote the overall carbon peak of the transportation industry.

The fifth is to deepen the reform of systems and mechanisms. Build a unified and open transportation market, support private enterprises in equitable participation in the construction of major transportation projects, deepen the reform of the railway system, promote the optimization of toll highway policies, and improve the sustainability of operations.
