large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou,
and the second or third largest source of pollution in most large and medium-sized
cities. It can be seen that with the in-depth development of ecological civilization
in China, various requirements for environmental governance are bound to become
more stringent. The transportation industry has gradually become a key area in the
development of ecological civilization and the pollution prevention and control.
For a period of time in future, China will maintain a relatively high growth rate in
transportation infrastructure, equipment, and service demand, while the contradiction
between the arduous task of transportation development and the increasingly rigid
resource and environmental constraints will become more prominent. To build China
into a world leader in transportation, we must increase the capabilities for sustainable
development, attach importance to the environmental impact, and assume the responsibility of a major country. The green development of transportation is an essential
requirement for satisfying the people’s aspirations for a better life, the inevitable trend
of high-quality development of transportation, as well as the inherent requirement
and important battlefield of building China into a leader in transportation. Green
development will also be the basic requirement for transportation infrastructure,
equipment and organizations in the future.
According to the overall planning of the Ministry of Transport, by 2020, a green
transportation system that’s scientifically-designed, eco-friendly, clean, low-carbon,
intensive, and efficient will be initially established and the task of transportation
pollution prevention and control will be fully completed. By 2035, a new pattern
of transportation development that matches the carrying capacity of resources and
environment and is coordinated with production, life and ecology will be put in
place. The green development of transportation will generally meet the requirements
of building China into a leader in transportation.
To promote the green development of transportation, we should stick to the goal
of improving the green travel ratio and green logistics indicators, focus on the tasks
of comprehensively building a green transportation service system, a green transportation infrastructure system, a clean and low-carbon transportation equipment
system, a green transportation governance system, and a green transportation research
and innovation system, and pursue the strategy of building China into a leader in
transportation. To this purpose, we should focus on the following tasks.
1. Accelerate the establishment of a green transportation service system
Firstly, build a green travel system by implementing the Green Travel Action
Plan (2019–2022), optimizing the inter-city passenger transport structure, carrying
out urban green travel campaigns, innovating the supply of green travel products, and continuing to implement the strategy of prioritizing public transportation. Secondly, establish a green logistics system by implementing the Three-Year
Action Plan for Promoting the Adjustment of Transportation Structure (2018–2020),
improving the cargo transportation structure, developing efficient urban distribution
models, promoting efficient transportation organization models, and strengthening
the integrated development of technology and logistics.
