Recently, the 2024 Beijing Transportation Work Conference was held, and last year, Beijing Transportation made remarkable achievements in supporting and ensuring the economic and social development of the capital and improving the convenience of citizens. So, what are the key goals of Beijing's transportation development this year? What are the new ideas for solving the transportation problems that plague citizens? How will the level of fine management of urban transportation be improved?
Today is the 348th episode of "Let's Talk About Transportation", and we invite Feng Tao, director of the Research Office of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, and Sun Jian, a first-level chief clerk, to be guests in the live broadcast room to talk about the key points and highlights of Beijing's transportation work in 2024.
Welcome to continue to pay attention to the "Traffic Talk" column of Beijing Traffic Radio "All the Way Smooth" every Wednesday morning from 7:30 to 9:30, and leave a message through the program, we will continue to improve our work and services according to the opinions of citizens.
By 2024, the proportion of green travel in the central urban area will reach 75%.
In 2023, the city's transportation industry will thoroughly implement the spirit of the important speeches and instructions of the general secretary to Beijing, especially on transportation work, and strive to promote the high-quality development of transportation in the capital under the strong leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. In terms of supporting and guaranteeing the economic and social development of the capital, we have increased investment, overfulfilled investment tasks, further improved the road network system, and ranked first in the country in terms of subway operating mileage. It has successfully completed 15 large-scale activities such as the 3rd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation and 7 key periods such as the Spring Festival and Summer Transportation, effectively coped with the passenger flow in and out of Beijing University on May Day and the 11th Day, and ensured the safe, smooth and orderly traffic operation during the key periods. We made every effort to do a good job in the "23 7" flood relief and rushed through all the life channels in a race against time, providing a strong transportation guarantee for the realization of "four links and one guarantee" in the shortest possible time in the affected areas. Optimize and adjust the traffic measures of bus lanes, innovate and launch diversified public transportation such as general education, general medical care, and general travel, enrich the travel choices of citizens, and initially build a public transportation travel system with rail transit as the backbone and ground public transportation as the support, with more than 1 billion shared bicycle rides and an increase in the proportion of green travel to 747%。
In 2024, Beijing Transportation will continue to take "promoting high-quality development" as the theme and "smooth, convenient, green, smart and safe" as its work goals, adhere to the equal emphasis on congestion control and prevention, coordinate high-quality development and high-level safety, increase investment in transportation infrastructure, accelerate the construction of a comprehensive transportation system with rail transit as the backbone, ground public transport as the support, and multiple travel modes as the supplement, with reasonable structure, smooth connection, convenient and orderly, promote the reform and development of ground public transportation, and accelerate the construction of parking facilities. Strengthen the management of transportation facilities and congestion control at important nodes, improve the level of refined traffic management, and promote the high-quality development of transportation in the capital. The main expected indicators for this year are: the proportion of bus stations with a transfer distance of less than 50 meters at rail stations will increase to 88%, the proportion of green travel in the central urban area will strive to reach 75%, and the average road traffic index during peak hours in the central urban area will strive to be controlled at 6Around 0, the city's road traffic fatalities have steadily declined, and the city's traffic is running safely, smoothly and orderly.
This year, all seven major railway stations in Beijing will be connected to the subway.
Further clarify the development idea of taking rail transit as the backbone, accelerate the optimization and connection of various transportation modes around the layout of rail transit, and guide the formation of a "fishbone-shaped" transportation structure. This year, it is planned to open the first phase of Metro Line 3, Line 12, and the remaining 3 lines (sections) of the first phase of the southern extension of Changping Line, with a total of 453 km, when the metro will operate more than 880 km. "In particular, the first phase of Line 3 will set up a station at Chaoyang Station in Beijing, and passengers will be able to take the subway to connect, which will be much more convenient, and at that time, all seven railway stations in Beijing will be connected to the subway," Feng Tao, director of the Research Office of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, said.
At the same time, the optimization and upgrading of the existing cable network of urban rail transit is the focus of the city's transportation work during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. This year, it is necessary to speed up the construction of the split of Metro Line 13, the branch line of Line 1, and the Huoying Micro Center, strengthen the commuting function of the capital airport line to serve the city, complete the optimization project of the signal system of Line 10, and speed up the opening of entrances and exits such as Exit D of Xingong Station of the Daxing Line, so as to realize the full passage and early passage to facilitate the travel of citizens.
The transfer distance at the entrance and exit of the rail station.
The proportion of bus stops less than 50 meters will increase to 88%.
In terms of promoting the "integration of the two networks" of rail transit and ground public transportation, a coordinated development model will be built, with the subway mainly serving medium and long-distance transportation, and the public transport mainly serving medium and short-distance transportation. Last year, focusing on sharing the pressure on the track and connecting the rail passenger flow, the bus route network was optimized and adjusted, 22 duplicate and inefficient lines with the subway were reduced, and 8 new microcirculation lines were opened. 41 bus stops were adjusted, and the transfer distance from bus stations to subway entrances and exits was less than 50 meters, and the number of stations was increased to 86%. This year, "in terms of network integration, on the one hand, we will do subtraction, reduce as much as possible the bus lines that are duplicated, long-distance and inefficient with the track, reduce the number of long bus lines within the fifth ring road and the duplicate lines with the track 30, and optimize and merge 30; On the other hand, we should do a good job in adding and increase the number of microcirculation lines connecting rail stations and communities by no less than 30 to solve the problem of subway 'last mile' connection," said Sun Jian, director of the Research Office of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission. In terms of station integration, the connection and transfer distance will be further shortened, and the proportion of bus stations with a transfer distance of less than 50 meters at the entrance and exit of the city's rail stations will be increased to 88%.
While optimizing and upgrading the layout of rail transit lines and stations, ground buses promote reform and innovation, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and improve service levels. On the one hand, we will continue to improve the level of diversified services, subdivide the population, time, space and other factors, and plan to open 50 medical and travel routes in areas where travel demand is concentrated, aiming at groups such as the elderly, tourists, and medical treatment, as well as key areas such as parks, business districts, scenic spots, and museums, so as to make it more convenient for citizens to seek medical treatment, go to school, and travel. Actively and steadily promote the expansion of pilot school buses, improve the versatility of school buses, promote the composite use of school buses, and improve operational efficiency. On the other hand, we will continue to optimize the policy on the use of bus lanes, and implement the third batch of optimization and adjustment measures with a focus on bus lanes within the Third Ring Road. In addition, we will accelerate the reform of the operation and management system, improve the flat dispatching and command mode, accelerate the centralization of regional dispatching, and realize the overall sharing and composite utilization of vehicles, stations and personnel.
Advocate the "cycling + public transportation" mode of travel.
Promote the integration of rail and slow traffic, and advocate the "cycling + public transportation" travel mode. Implement the action of improving the quality of the urban slow traffic system, and promote the construction of 8 slow traffic system demonstration streets and the eastward expansion of the Huilongguan bicycle road. Focusing on key areas such as rail transit stations and residential areas, we will continue to increase the planning of shared bicycle parking areas, and achieve the goal of 1:1 ratio of shared bicycle parking spaces by the end of the year to improve the convenience of connection. We will continue to promote the governance of shared bicycle parking order around rail transit stations and bus stations with large passenger flows, and further improve the parking order of shared bicycles by optimizing the supply of parking facilities, strengthening operation and scheduling management, and cultivating good parking habits. Expand the application of electronic fence technology, promote enterprises to complete the renewal and replacement of high-precision positioning vehicles by the end of the year, and realize the full coverage of the management of shared bicycle electronic fence in rail transit stations. Promote the integration of "waterway green" and complete the Liangshui River (Yongsheng Bridge-Jiugong Bridge) on both sides of the 13The 8-kilometer river patrol road slow traffic system was renovated, 20 parks were implemented to "reduce fences and promote connectivity", 20 boulevards were built, and 300 overpasses were vertically greened to improve walking and cycling comfort.
We will carry out a three-year action to tackle the root cause of production safety.
This year, we will carry out a three-year action to tackle the root cause of production safety and carry out special rectification of the whole industry. The rail transit industry has carried out a 100-day special action to investigate and rectify hidden dangers, strengthened the education and training of personnel in key positions such as subway drivers and dispatchers, strengthened the daily inspection and maintenance of vehicles and signals, and improved the extreme weather operation organization plan and emergency linkage mechanism with "one line and one policy" to improve the safety of the rail transit backbone network. The ground bus industry has carried out a special action to investigate potential safety hazards, and strengthened driver safety education and training, health monitoring management, and psychological care and counseling. The inter-provincial passenger transport and tourist passenger transport industries have strengthened the supervision of safe operation and strengthened the law enforcement of "three supers and one fatigue". The freight industry such as hazardous chemical transportation relies on the coordinated linkage mechanism of eight provinces and cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and the bypass measures for transit vehicles to further strengthen the safety control of the whole process. Increase the frequency and intensity of inspection and maintenance of roads, bridges and tunnels and other risk road sections, continue to improve the level of protection, and make every effort to reduce the risks and hidden dangers of road infrastructure.
