China News Service, May 19th, Deputy Minister of Transportation Dai Dongchang said on the 19th that in terms of reducing social logistics costs, it will optimize government affairs procedures, and further promote transportation logistics logistics to reduce fees, improve quality and increase efficiency, and further reduce the real economy. The burden of enterprises is expected to reduce logistics costs by more than 130 billion yuan throughout the year.
The State Council Information Office held a press conference on May 19 to introduce the situation of accelerating the construction of a powerful transportation country and promoting the high-quality development of the transportation industry. A reporter asked: The Ministry of Transport has made specific efforts to promote fee reductions and taxes and reduce social logistics costs. What job?
In response to a reporter's question, Dai Dongchang said that deepening the supply-side structural reform is a major decision and deployment made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and is also the main line for the transportation to carry out various tasks. The Ministry of Transport always takes deepening the transportation supply-side structural reform as a development The top priority of all work is to establish a special working mechanism, formulate work accounts every year, follow up on a monthly basis, and schedule on a quarterly basis. Transportation has achieved positive results in deepening supply-side structural reforms.
Dai Dongchang made a brief introduction from three aspects.
First, focus on tackling shortcomings. Shortcomings are an important part of the supply-side structural reform, mainly focusing on the weak links and bottleneck constraints in the development of transportation, focusing on the key tasks of serving the country, transport poverty alleviation, poverty alleviation and other key tasks, and accelerating the construction of transportation infrastructure . The investment in fixed assets was RMB 32451 billion in the whole year last year, of which railway, highway, waterway and civil aviation completed investment of 802.9 billion yuan, 23452 billion yuan and 96.9 billion yuan respectively. The investment in transportation has been maintained at a high level in recent years. Some key projects have made new progress, such as the construction and commissioning of a number of key projects such as Beijing Daxing International Airport, Beijing-Zhangjiazhuang High-speed Railway, and Yanchong Expressway. The construction of these key projects has further improved the "skeletal system" of coordinated regional development.
In addition to key projects, the Ministry of Transport also made up for the shortcomings of rural road construction. Last year, 290,000 kilometers of rural roads were newly reconstructed, of which 178,000 kilometers were in poverty-stricken areas. The poverty alleviation goal of all hardened roads in qualified villages was achieved in advance Build a total of 9,000 kilometers of resource roads, tourist roads, and industrial roads in rural areas. Decisive progress has been made in the goals and tasks of transportation poverty alleviation.
Second, do everything possible to reduce costs. Firmly grasp the key of reducing logistics costs, and make every effort to promote certification, fee reduction and efficiency increase in the field of transportation logistics, and further reduce the burden on enterprises. The Ministry of Transport issued the "Working Plan for Reducing Transportation and Logistics Costs". By reducing tolls on roads and ports, it develops multimodal transport, promotes the development of car-free carriers, improves the development level of urban distribution, and promotes the "three inspections in one" In various ways, the quantifiable measures in the field of highways and waterways in 2019 will reduce logistics costs by about 80.4 billion yuan.
Third, take multiple measures to increase kinetic energy. Accelerate the promotion of organizational innovation, management innovation, application innovation, promote the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in transportation, and actively cultivate new forms of transportation. The People ’s Bank of China and other departments issued the “Measures for the Management of Funds for Users in New Transportation Formats”. As of the end of April this year, more than 950,000 car-hailing vehicle transportation licenses and 2.08 million driver licenses were issued. At the same time, we will vigorously develop new transportation technologies and promote the pilot implementation of big data for smart highways, smart ports, and transportation services. In addition, it also accelerates the development of a new mode of transportation, promotes the cruise economy and hub economy, strengthens the integration and development of advanced manufacturing, tourism, and e-commerce, and advances transportation to the mid-to-high-end and to higher-quality development.
Dai Dongchang said that in the next step, the Ministry of Transport will firmly seize the important strategic opportunity period of all-round utilization, implement the general requirements of the "consolidate, strengthen, enhance, and smooth" policy, continue to deepen the supply-side structural reform, and focus on supplementing Work in these areas, including cost reduction, cost reduction, excellent environment, strong service, and increased momentum.
The shortcomings mainly focus on weak links and bottleneck constraints, increase the strength of infrastructure shortcomings, expand funding sources, continue to expand effective investment, focus on preventing and mitigating risks, and continue to take the lead in implementing major national strategies. It is estimated that the investment in highways and waterways will be about 1.8 trillion yuan this year, and strive to make greater contributions.
In terms of cost reduction, it will optimize the government affairs process, deepen the reduction of transportation logistics bills, improve quality and increase efficiency, and further reduce the burden on real economy enterprises. It is expected that the logistics cost will be reduced by more than 130 billion yuan this year.
In terms of increasing kinetic energy, it is mainly through the cross-industry and cross-industry integration and development of the industry, constantly expanding the scope of services, extending the service chain, enhancing the development momentum, and accelerating the conversion of new and old kinetic energy.
Dai Dongchang said that the Ministry of Transport will also do a good job in terms of excellent environment and strong service, continue to deepen the reform of "decentralization management" of transportation, continue to optimize the business environment, remove the institutional barriers that restrict the release of market vitality, and strengthen high quality The supply of transportation services continuously meets the needs of personalized, diversified and high-quality transportation, and promotes the development of transportation to a higher quality.
