　　According to Dai Dongchang, as of the end of 2019, China's rural roads had reached 4.2 million kilometers, achieving 100% access to hardened roads in qualified townships and organic villages; by the end of August this year, 100% of qualified towns and organic villages had basically been connected to passenger vehicles. .

Significant results have been achieved in transportation poverty alleviation:

　　The first is to bid farewell to the "difficulty of traveling".

From 2016 to 2019, about 96,000 kilometers of hardened roads were built in natural villages with large populations in poverty-stricken areas, about 458,000 kilometers of rural road safety and life protection projects were completed, 143,000 kilometers of narrow subgrade pavements were widened and reconstructed, and about 1.5% were reconstructed. Ten thousand dangerous bridges.

　　The second is to open up the "large arteries."

The formation of a comprehensive transportation corridor network in impoverished areas has accelerated, and the situation of "two heavens in the mountains" has been completely changed.

From 2016 to 2019, 16,900 kilometers of national highways and 52,500 kilometers of ordinary national highways were renovated and constructed in poor areas, and many "broken roads" and "bottleneck sections" were opened. The county town basically realized the coverage of secondary and above highways. Many counties have highways.

　　The third is to unblock the "microcirculation".

Vigorously promote the use of passenger cars from village to village, and the dream of "going out on the cement road and lifting the foot on the bus" has become a reality.

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 up the two-way transportation service of "urban goods to the countryside, mountain products to the city, e-commerce to the village, and express to the home".

　　The fourth is to embark on the "road to wealth."

Promote the development of poverty alleviation models such as "transportation + characteristic agriculture + e-commerce", "transportation + culture + tourism", "transportation + employment + public welfare positions", and enhance the "blood-making" function of poor areas.

　　Dai Dongchang said that the realization of the "two links" is not the end, but a new starting point for the struggle to meet the growing demand for better travel among Chinese people.

In the next step, the Ministry of Transport will complete the final task of poverty alleviation in transportation with high quality, fully promote the high-quality development of the "Four Good Rural Roads", and effectively link poverty alleviation with the rural revitalization strategy, and ensure that the results of transportation poverty alleviation are satisfactory.
