"In 2022, we will continue to adhere to transportation first, find the right positioning, perform our duties, continue to promote the construction of major projects, and coordinate the development of all-round service areas." Fan Zhenyu said.
It is understood that in 2022, the Beijing-Binjiang Railway and the Beijing-Tangshan Railway will be built, the construction of the Yangtze River Middle Reach Airport Group will be promoted, the high-quality construction of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta high-grade waterway network will be accelerated, and the development of the container terminal on the north side of Xiaoyangshan will be accelerated. 1 hour transportation network in the city economic circle.
Smooth the supply chain of the industrial chain
In the early winter of 2021, affected by price fluctuations in the international energy market, the supply of electricity and coal is tight, and electricity supply and demand are in short supply in some provinces.
The railway department quickly launched a special operation to ensure the supply of coal for power generation and heating, accurately meet the demand for electric coal in various places, improve the capacity of electric coal transportation, and ensure the warmth of the people through the winter and the normal operation of the economy and society.
It is not just coal. Under the impact of the epidemic of the century, the stability and smooth flow of the global industrial chain and supply chain is facing huge challenges.
In 2021, the transportation industry will coordinate the advancement of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and make all-round efforts by sea, land and air to further promote interconnection with the world. With strong transportation support, it will ensure the trade of goods with countries around the world. Unblocked, making an important contribution to global anti-epidemic and economic development.
Cai Tuanjie, Director of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that domestically, we will fully tap the potential of gathering and distribution, effectively strengthen the connection between supply and demand, and make every effort to ensure the transportation of important materials related to the national economy and people’s livelihoods such as grain, coal, and natural gas, in order to strengthen the supply of primary products in my country. Safe, serving the healthy and stable operation of the national economy provides strong transportation support.
According to statistics, from January to November 2021, my country's freight volume was 47.5 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%.
The logistics field has also achieved cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
Completely abolish port construction fees and reduce import and export links by 25 billion yuan each year.
Promote differentiated expressway tolls. It is estimated that in 2021, preferential truck tolls will be 31.2 billion yuan, and the “green channel” for the transportation of fresh agricultural products will be reduced or exempted by 27.6 billion yuan.
At the international level, we will make every effort to ensure the safety and smooth flow of the international logistics supply chain, and work with relevant departments to establish an international logistics guarantee coordination working mechanism to enhance the guarantee capacity of China-Europe freight trains, effectively guarantee international shipping capacity and container supply, and steadily improve the facilitation level of international road transportation. Open the "green channel" for international cargo flights.
As of the end of November 2021, a total of about 14,000 China-Europe freight trains have been operated, an increase of 20.3% year-on-year; 74,000 international cargo flights have been operated, an increase of 25.8% year-on-year; international cargo and mail transportation volume has been completed 2.415 million tons, international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan express delivery 1.93 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 20.2% and 17.4% respectively.

Cai Tuanjie said that the transportation department will give full play to the role of the international logistics guarantee coordination work mechanism and follow the idea of "maintaining key points, focusing on coordination, increasing resilience, reducing costs, and building systems" , To ensure the stability and smooth flow of domestic and international logistics supply chains.
Sharing the fruits of transportation development
Although my country's transportation industry has made great achievements in recent years, and its scale and technical level have been significantly improved, there is still a problem of unbalanced and insufficient development.
Liu Pengfei said that in recent years, the transportation department has implemented a batch of people's livelihoods every year, so that the people can share the results of transportation development.
On the one hand, it is to strengthen the weak traffic areas to make up for the shortcomings, and continue to consolidate and expand the achievements of the transportation poverty alleviation to effectively connect with the rural revitalization.
It is estimated that in 2021, more than 800 billion yuan will be invested in roads in poverty alleviation areas, and the promotion of transportation construction projects will be more inclined to enter villages and households.
Continue to operate "slow trains" to unblock water transportation channels in poverty alleviation areas.
Promote the high-quality development of the "Four Good Rural Roads". It is estimated that more than 160,000 kilometers of rural roads will be rebuilt throughout 2021, improve the rural delivery logistics network system, and continue to promote the "Express delivery into the village" project.
In response to the problem of rural people's travel during busy periods, the Ministry of Transport has also deployed to increase the supply of transport services for people in key periods in rural areas. More than 5,000 seasonal routes have been opened in various regions, 3861 custom-made passenger lines in rural areas, and 870 old passenger ferries have been updated and reconstructed. There are 88 more ships, ferry ports or passenger terminals, which effectively guarantees the travel needs of the people in key periods in rural areas.
Another aspect is to optimize the service.
In response to the inadaptability of the elderly and people offline in the transportation informatization, in 2021, a series of "aging-appropriate" service measures will be launched in the transportation sector, so that special groups such as the elderly can travel without worry.
The railway department upgraded the 12306 website and mobile phone APP to apply the "age-appropriate" function, while retaining offline channels such as cash ticket purchase and manual services to facilitate the purchase and travel of tickets for the elderly and the disabled; many airlines provide priority luggage for elderly passengers Check-in, priority boarding and departure services; taxi service hotline, etc.
According to statistics, only the "one-click car-hailing" function and telephone car-hailing services have provided more than 20 million services to more than 6.9 million elderly passengers.
"In the next step, we will continue to focus on the people's'emergency, worry and hope', and persevere in handling the transportation, and getting closer to the people's livelihood." Liu Pengfei said.
