Following the meeting of the CPC Central Politburo, the Outline for Building a Transportation Powerhouse once again called for the scientific planning and construction of urban parking facilities (full text attached).

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 proposes that by By 2035, China will have basically become a transportation powerhouse. At the same time, it is expected that infrastructure will be comprehensively planned and seamlessly interconnected in a three-dimensional network.

The Outline requires that, Scientifically plan and develop urban parking facilities, and strengthen the construction of infrastructure for charging, hydrogen refueling, natural gas refueling, and public transit stops. Comprehensively enhance the level of intelligentization 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, based on China’s national conditions, with a holistic view of the overall situation, and oriented toward the future. It is a pioneering sector in building a modernized economic system, a crucial 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. To coordinate and advance the endeavor of building a strong transportation nation, this Outline has been formulated.

I. General Requirements

II. (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 and closely focus on comprehensively advancing… Adhering to the “five-sphere integrated plan” and the coordinated advancement of the “four‑pronged comprehensive strategy,” we will uphold the overarching principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, embrace the new development philosophy, promote high‑quality development, take supply‑side structural reform as the central task, and place people at the heart of our development agenda. We will firmly anchor ourselves in the role of transportation as the vanguard, proactively anticipate future needs, further liberate our minds, and forge ahead with boldness, shifting the focus of transport development from pursuing speed and scale to prioritizing quality and efficiency; from the relatively independent evolution of different modes of transport to a more integrated and synergistic approach; and from reliance on traditional factors of production to an innovation‑driven model. In doing so, we will build a modern, comprehensive transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, green, and economical, and deliver world‑class infrastructure, technology, management, and services. Ultimately, we aim to establish a transportation powerhouse that enjoys public satisfaction, provides robust support, and ranks among the world’s leaders, thereby offering strong backing for the complete realization of a modern socialist country and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.

(II) Development Goals. to In 2020, the tasks of completing transportation infrastructure development to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and implementing the objectives of the 13th Five-Year Plan for developing a modern, integrated transport system were accomplished, laying a solid foundation for building a strong transportation nation. From 2021 to the middle of this century, the construction of a strong transportation nation will be advanced in two phases.

to By 2035, China will have essentially become a transportation powerhouse. A modern, integrated transport system will be largely in place, with markedly improved public satisfaction and significantly enhanced capacity to support national modernization. The country will boast an extensive high-speed network, a well‑developed trunk‑line network, and a pervasive basic‑network infrastructure, elevating the coordinated development of urban–rural and regional transport to new heights. A “National 1‑2‑3 Travel Circle” (1‑hour commutes within metropolitan areas, 2‑hour access among city clusters, and 3‑hour coverage of major cities nationwide) and a “Global 1‑2‑3 Express Logistics Circle” (domestic delivery within one day, neighboring countries within two days, and major global cities within three days) will be firmly established, ensuring convenient and seamless multimodal passenger travel and efficient, cost‑effective intermodal freight transport. Levels of smart, safe, green, and shared mobility will see substantial improvements; urban traffic congestion will be substantially alleviated, and an inclusive, barrier‑free mobility service system will be largely in place. A robust system for transport‑related scientific and technological innovation will be in place, with advanced, secure key transport equipment, a highly skilled workforce, and a favorable market environment. Modernization of the transport governance system and governance capabilities will be essentially achieved, while international competitiveness and influence in the transport sector will be significantly strengthened.

By the middle of this century, China will have fully built itself into a world‑leading transportation powerhouse that meets the people’s expectations, provides robust safeguards, and ranks at the forefront globally. Its infrastructure—both in scale and quality—along with its technological equipment, scientific and technological innovation capacity, and levels of smart and green development, will all be among the best in the world. Meanwhile, its road safety standards, governance capabilities, cultural sophistication, international competitiveness, and global influence will all reach advanced international levels, comprehensively supporting and underpinning the building of a modern socialist country, while ensuring that the people enjoy high‑quality transportation services.
