Basically complete goal and task
“The ‘two links’ are two fundamental goals and tasks for poverty alleviation in transportation.” Dai Dongchang, vice minister of the Ministry of Transportation, told the press conference that by the end of 2019, the country’s rural roads had reached 4.2 million kilometers, with cities and towns qualified. 100% of the designated villages will be connected to hardened roads; By the end of August 2020, 100% of the qualified cities and designated villages will have access to passenger cars.
From 2016 to 2019, the Department of Transportation supported the construction of some 96,000 kilometers of hardened roads in large population-sized natural villages in poverty-stricken areas, completed some 458,000 kilometers of rural road safety and life protection projects, and expanded and renovated 143,000 kilometers of narrow roads. Some 15,000 dangerous bridges were built.
On this basis, the Department of Transportation supported the reconstruction and construction of 16,900 kilometers of national highways and 52,500 kilometers of ordinary national highways in impoverished areas, opened a series of “broken roads” and “bottleneck roads”, and the county basically it has reached grade II and above. Roads are covered and highways are accessible in many counties.
At the same time, accelerate the construction of the county and village three-level rural logistics network system and the “express delivery to the countryside” project, and further open the two-way transportation service of “urban goods to the countryside, goods from the mountain to the city, e-commerce to the village and express to the home. “
Ensuring the authenticity of rural passenger transport
It is only the first step to building a good road and getting a good car. Rural passenger transport points are very wide and the coverage is very wide. At the same time, rural passenger traffic is small, diversified, with variable demands, and relatively dispersed. It is not easy to make rural passenger transport accessible, retained and well approved, so that the masses can really benefit from it. To this end, several places have carried out some exploration and gained some experience, including the Sichuan “Jintong Project”.
Luo Jiaming, director of the Sichuan Province Department of Transportation, presented that Sichuan’s “Jintong Project” has achieved “four unifications”: one is to unify the appearance and color of the car body, the other is to unify the clothing and the driver’s insignia and the third is to unify the field. The fourth is to unify the monitoring and reporting platform for passenger transport. Today, people in Sichuan kindly call the “Jintong Project” a “little yellow car.” It is not just a car to get rich when people leave their houses to go to the market to buy food, but also a car for students to go to school, a car to visit family and friends or a medical car. Health car for treatment.
On the basis of exploration in various places, in order to ensure that rural passenger transport is genuine and practical, the Ministry of Transport has also taken a series of measures to further expand the network of rural passenger transport services , increase the breadth and depth of rural passenger transport coverage and better meet the needs of the population. The need to travel; the orderly promotion of the extension of urban bus lines to the surrounding key cities and towns and the transformation of rural passenger transport lines into public transport will comprehensively improve the level of equalization of public urban passenger transport services and rural; will actively build a long-term rural passenger transport development mechanism and take multiple measures to support rural passenger transport. Continuous development.
Accelerate poverty alleviation through transportation
The realization of the “two links” is not the end, but a new starting point in the struggle to meet the growing demand of people for better travel. In recent years, while doing a good job on the “two links”, the transportation department has also paid attention to the basic, leading, strategic and service role of transportation, and has taken multiple steps to implement poverty alleviation. in transportation and policy implementation.
Taking Gansu, a major tourism province, as an example, Li Rui, director of the Gansu Provincial Transportation Department, said that 70% of Gansu’s cultural and tourism resources are concentrated in the countryside. The transportation department will integrate the construction of “four good rural roads” and “beautiful landscapes.” On the basis of ensuring the realization of the “two links” in the organized villages, a total of 1,890 kilometers of tourist roads, resource roads and industrial roads have been built, and 6,000 kilometers of roads have been built in the demonstration villages. of the “thousands of beautiful villages”. Poverty alleviation models like transport + characteristic industries, “transport + ecotourism” and “transport + e-commerce express delivery” help the masses to get rid of poverty and become rich.
“The construction, administration, maintenance and operation of rural roads are of relatively low technology, adequate to absorb the local population, especially poor people, in search of employment.” Dai Dongchang said, the Ministry of Transportation also instructs local transportation departments to increase employment on rural roads. Development efforts, strengthen employment management and technical training, while building the “four good rural roads”, expand the employment of farmers, especially poor households with registered cards, to help fight poverty and revitalize the countryside.
As of the end of August, more than 668,000 rural road-related jobs were created nationwide, including more than 270,000 public welfare jobs, and a total of more than 370,000 people from poor households have been hired with registered documents and cards, which has promoted employment and increased the income of the population.
