China Daily, Beijing, December 24. On December 24, the reporter learned from the 2021 National Transportation Work Conference that high-quality transportation development in 2020 will advance steadily.
Among them, the improvement of the transport infrastructure network has been accelerated. In 2020, investment in fixed assets in transport will grow against the trend. Annual investment in fixed assets is estimated to be 3,424.7 billion yuan, including 778 billion yuan for railways, 2.541.7 billion yuan for roads and waterways, and 105 billion yuan for civil aviation. It is estimated that 4,585 kilometers of railway operating mileage will be put into operation throughout the year, including 2,416 kilometers of high-speed rail, 12,713 kilometers of newly renovated (expanded) highways, about 600 kilometers of new high-quality waterways and upgrades, 4 recently issued civil transportation airports and more than smart express boxes. 400,000 groups, 1,100 kilometers of urban rail transit operational mileage. After centralized boarding and system conversion, the highway network toll system works stably, ETC utilization rate exceeds 67%, average vehicle speed increases by 16%, average daily congestion and slow toll stations are reduced by 65%, and congestion at provincial toll stations has become a story.
With the in-depth implementation of the domestic demand expansion strategy and boosting investment in transport fixed assets to maintain a high level of operation, the investment in transport fixed assets is expected to be completed next year in around 2 , 4 billion yuan. In 2021, the improvement of the transport infrastructure network will accelerate. Promote the construction of the main skeleton of the national three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network. Accelerate the construction of central transportation clusters, central cities and central ports. Accelerate the completion of deficiencies in rail infrastructure in the central and western regions, strengthen the construction of high-speed rail freight capacity, and comprehensively promote the development of intercity railways and urban (suburban) railways. Promote the construction of a series of projects for the expansion and reconstruction of highways, ordinary national highways to be penetrated and congested road sections. Promote the construction of public infrastructure such as coastal access channels, accelerate the improvement of high-grade inland waterways and the construction of navigation facilities that impede navigation locks and dams, and strengthen the maintenance of channels. The Guiyang Airport third phase expansion project was completed. Promote the transformation and improvement of the postal distribution center equipment.
At the same time, the transport guarantee is strong. In 2020, cargo volume has maintained positive growth for many consecutive months, with a year-on-year increase of 7.1% in November. The annual cargo throughput at the port is estimated to be 14.57 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.4%; Express delivery turnover will exceed 80 billion pieces, a 30% year-on-year increase. Passenger traffic continued to recover steadily, the volume of commercial passenger traffic in November recovered to 67.4% from the same period last year, from which railways recovered to 79.4%, roads recovered to 63.1%, waterways recovered to 72.6% and civil aviation recovered to 83.7%. The volume of public transport passengers in 36 central cities across the country has recovered to 83.4% from the same period last year. In-depth development of demo counties for urban and rural transportation integration. The ticketing coverage rate of the road passenger transport network exceeds 99% and more than 800 passenger stations above the second level in 11 provinces have implemented electronic ticketing applications. 303 cities at the prefecture level and above and 505 cities at the county level across the country have achieved all-in-one transportation connectivity. Investigate and solve the problem of the “digital divide” of senior travel. The normal rate of civil aviation flights remains above 80%. Construction of the “driver’s house” and 9 other transportation elements closer to people’s livelihoods were completed in 2020.
As the prevention and control of the epidemic in China have achieved important strategic results in helping the economy take the lead in recovery, it is expected that next year, the commercial passenger traffic of the entire society will increase by approximately one 50% year-on-year, returning to approximately 90% in 2019; commercial cargo volume will increase 6% to 9% year-on-year. , Port cargo throughput increased between 3% and 7%.
In 2021, efforts will also be made to improve the level of transport services. Actively develop joint transportation services such as railways, air railways, and public air transportation to improve the quality of passenger travel services. Promote and regulate the development of personalized passenger transport. Realize the popularization of electronic ticketing services for road passengers in 20 provinces and promote travel at “face-to-face” stations. Continue to expand the interconnection and convenient application of the transport card. Promote the optimization of the safety inspection process between railways, civil aviation and urban rail transit. Promote the universal transport accompaniment program and medical kit. Efforts will be made to solve the difficulties of the elderly in the use of smart technology to facilitate daily transportation. Deepen the promotion of the “bathroom revolution”. Build 300 “driver homes”. Optimize and improve technical support for the toll collection system of the national road network, handling of complaints, fluid traffic and network security management mechanisms. Carry out special actions to promote ETC services. Strengthen quality supervision and timely control of key products in the industry. The momentum of new development continues to increase.
