At the beginning of the new year, getting rid of the impact of the epidemic and revitalizing the economy have become the top priority. As the cornerstone of supporting economic development, the importance of infrastructure investment is self-evident. A few days ago, the Ministry of Transport officially issued the "14th Five-Year Development Plan for Highways" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). Five-year development plan for the road transport sector.

The "Plan" clarifies the overall thinking, development goals, key tasks and policy measures for China's road transportation development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, covering construction, management, maintenance, operation, transportation and other fields. Programmatic document for quality development.

During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China's highway development level has leaped to a new level

As the most basic and extensive transportation infrastructure, highways are the main support for connecting other modes of transportation and exerting the overall efficiency of the comprehensive transportation network, and they play an irreplaceable role in the comprehensive transportation system.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport said that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China's highway transportation maintained a relatively stable development trend, and its development level has leaped to a new level. The fundamental goal of "two links" has been fully realized, the level of excellent service and security has been improved, transformation has been promoted, and sustainable and steady progress has strongly supported the implementation of major national strategies and the realization of the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. The new journey of modernizing the country provides a good foundation.

The "Plan" proposes that by 2025, significant progress will be made in the construction of a modern road transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, green and economical, high-quality development has taken solid steps, the supply of facilities will be better, transportation services will be more efficient, and the road network will operate. Safer, more powerful in transformation and development, and better in industry governance, it will strongly support the construction of a strong transportation country, meet the requirements of high-quality economic development at a high level, and meet the people's needs for a better life.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's highway development will pay more attention to travel experience

At present and in the future, China's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities, but there are new developments and changes in both opportunities and challenges. China has embarked on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way and has turned to a stage of high-quality development, but the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent.

The person in charge said that the new international and domestic situation has put forward new and higher requirements for the development of highway transportation in the 14th Five-Year Plan. Based on the new development stage, it is necessary to completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and continue to give priority to highway transportation. Leading and basic guarantee role, improve supply effectiveness and adaptability, improve travel service quality and freight logistics efficiency, pay more attention to safety assurance and green development, accelerate the cultivation of new growth drivers, improve industry governance efficiency, and further promote the high-quality development of road transportation .

The person in charge pointed out that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the development of China's highway transportation will show five characteristics in five stages: First, in terms of the scale and structure of demand, while the transportation volume has grown steadily, with the adjustment of the transportation structure, the medium- and long-distance business of highways will increase. The proportion of passenger and large-volume long-distance freight will gradually decrease, and the demand for mobile, flexible and convenient personalized travel and the transportation of high value-added and light cargo will continue to increase.

Second, from the perspective of demand quality, it will change from "maintaining the basics and taking care of the bottom line" during the 13th Five-Year Plan period to "happy travel and smooth flow", that is, paying more attention to travel experience and transportation efficiency.

Third, from the perspective of demand type, there will be a more diversified and differentiated development trend in different regions of the country. The traffic agglomeration effect of main highways and urban agglomerations will continue to increase, and the scale and frequency of foreign economic and transportation links in rural areas will also increase significantly. .

Fourth, from the perspective of development priorities, infrastructure still needs to be improved, and construction tasks are still relatively heavy.

Fifth, from the perspective of development momentum, the driving role of traditional elements such as capital, labor, and land in the development of highway transportation will be further weakened, and will shift to more emphasis on innovation-driven development.

The "Plan" specifies eight key tasks to achieve high-quality development of China's road transportation

The person in charge said that the "Plan" closely focuses on the development requirements of the new stage, new concept and new pattern, fully implements the deployment requirements of the "Outline for Building a Strong Transportation Country" and "Outline for the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning", and highlights the theme of high-quality development of highway transportation. , from solving "is there or not" to focusing on solving "good or bad", pay more attention to promoting the coordinated development of "construction, management, maintenance and transportation", pay more attention to strengthening the integrated development with other modes of transportation and related industries, pay more attention to improving the quality of supply, service quality and service experience.

The "Planning" proposes that the development of highway transportation during the 14th Five-Year Plan period should adhere to the four basic principles of "serving the overall situation, sharing development, overall planning and coordination, integrated development, deepening reform, innovative development, green, intensive and safe development", and further clarified that "replenishing shortcomings". The "Twelve Characters" development idea of "planning, optimal supply, strong service, and increasing kinetic energy" has pointed out the direction and main focus for the high-quality development of highway transportation during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

Centering on the "five more" development goals, the "Planning" proposes goals and requirements from five dimensions. In addition, in line with the goal of building a strong transportation country, the long-term goal of 2035 is also proposed, that is, to basically build a modern road transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, green and economical.

In order to achieve the development goals of "five changes", the "Plan" proposes that eight key tasks should be implemented during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, which can be summarized as "four enhancements, two enhancements, and two advancements":
