The Outline for Building a Transportation Powerhouse Has Been Issued, Reiterating the Need for Scientific Planning and Construction of Urban Parking Facilities.


Recently, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Outline for Building a Transportation Powerhouse (hereinafter referred to as the “Outline”) and circulated a notice calling on all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of their specific circumstances. The Outline sets forth that by 2035, a transportation powerhouse will be basically established. At the same time, it calls for a well‑planned infrastructure network that is three‑dimensional and interconnected.

 

The Outline calls for the scientific planning and development of urban parking facilities, as well as the enhancement of infrastructure for charging, hydrogen refueling, gas refueling, and public transit stops. Comprehensively enhance the intelligence level of urban transportation infrastructure.

 

The full text of the “Outline for Building a Transportation Powerhouse” is as follows:

Building a strong transportation nation is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, grounded in China’s national conditions, oriented toward the overall situation, and geared toward the future. It is a pioneering sector in building a modernized economic system, a vital pillar for fully achieving the goal of building a great modern socialist country, and the overarching guiding principle for advancing transportation work in the new era. This Outline is formulated to coordinate and advance the development of a transportation powerhouse.

General Requirements


(1) Guiding Principles.

Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, closely focus on advancing the “five-sphere integrated plan” and the “four-pronged comprehensive strategy,” uphold the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, adhere to the new development philosophy, promote high-quality development, take supply-side structural reform as the main thread, and put people at the center of our development. We will firmly anchor ourselves in the role of transportation as the vanguard, adopt a moderately forward-looking approach, further emancipate our minds and forge ahead, and steer transport development from an emphasis on speed and scale toward greater attention to quality and efficiency; from the relatively independent development of various modes of transport toward more integrated and coordinated development; and from reliance on traditional factors of production to a stronger orientation toward innovation-driven growth. In doing so, we will build a modern, comprehensive transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, green, and economical; cultivate world-class infrastructure, technology, management, and services; and establish a strong transportation nation that wins the satisfaction of the people, provides robust support, and ranks among the world’s leaders—thereby providing solid backing for the complete building of a modern socialist country and the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.

 

(II) Development Goals.

By 2020, the tasks of building transportation infrastructure to secure a decisive victory in completing the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, as well as all objectives set forth in the 13th Five-Year Plan for Developing a Modern Integrated Transport System, will be accomplished, laying a solid foundation for building a strong transportation nation.
From 2021 to the middle of this century, the development of a transportation powerhouse will be advanced in two phases.

 

By 2035, a strong transportation nation will be basically established. A modern, integrated transportation system has been essentially established, public satisfaction has risen markedly, and the capacity to support national modernization has been significantly strengthened. It boasts a well-developed expressway network, a comprehensive trunk‑road network, and an extensive basic road network, bringing coordinated urban–rural and regional transport development to a new level. A “National 1-2-3 Travel and Transportation Circle” has been essentially established—encompassing one-hour commutes within metropolitan areas, two-hour connectivity among city clusters, and three-hour coverage of major cities nationwide—and a “Global 1-2-3 Express Logistics Circle”—providing same-day delivery within China, two-day delivery to neighboring countries, and three-day delivery to major global cities. Passenger intermodal travel is convenient and seamless, while multimodal freight transport is efficient and cost‑effective. The development levels of smart, safe, green, and shared transportation have improved significantly; urban traffic congestion has been substantially alleviated, and the barrier-free mobility service system has been largely refined. A comprehensive system for transportation technology innovation has been essentially established, with advanced and safe key transportation equipment, a highly qualified workforce, and a favorable market environment. The modernization of the transportation governance system and governance capacity has been basically achieved. The international competitiveness and influence of the transportation sector have been significantly enhanced.

 

By the middle of this century, we will have fully built a world‑leading transportation powerhouse that meets the people’s expectations and provides robust support. The scale and quality of infrastructure, technological equipment, scientific and technological innovation capacity, as well as the levels of intelligentization and green development, all rank among the world’s highest. Traffic safety, governance capabilities, civic sophistication, international competitiveness, and global influence have reached advanced international standards, comprehensively supporting and safeguarding the building of a modern socialist country, while ensuring that the people enjoy high-quality transportation services.
