Increased the number of low-carbon transport pilot cities to 26

Build low-carbon transport infrastructure, promote the use of low-carbon transport equipment, and establish a sound carbon emission management system for transportation... From this year to 2014, 16 cities including Beijing, Kunming and Xi’an will carry out the second batch of low-carbon transport For the pilot project of transport system construction, some funds will be listed in the special funds for transportation energy conservation and emission reduction. At present, the number of pilot cities has increased to 26.

At the end of February last year, the Ministry of Transport initiated the pilot project for the construction of a low-carbon transportation system for the first batch of 10 cities (Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang, Baoding, Wuhan, and Wuxi). The implementation phase is July 2011. Until October 2013. The 16 cities included in the second batch of pilots include: Beijing, Kunming, Xi'an, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Harbin, Huai'an, Yantai, Haikou, Chengdu, Qingdao, Zhuzhou, Handan, Shiyan and Jiyuan.

The Ministry of Transport recently issued a notice requiring the second batch of pilot cities to improve the organization of transport energy conservation, emission reduction and low carbon development as soon as possible, arrange special personnel to take charge of the pilot work, actively support related work funds, and establish transportation energy consumption and carbon emissions. Statistics, accounting system; clearly put forward the goal of building a low-carbon transportation system, formulate policies and measures that are conducive to promoting energy-saving, emission-reducing, and low-carbon development of transportation, carefully select pilot projects, and formulate pilot implementation plans scientifically and rationally.

Pilot cities can combine their own characteristics and selectively carry out pilot projects around the following specific projects: building low-carbon transport infrastructure, effectively promoting low-carbon construction concepts, and rationally using low-carbon construction and operation management technologies, facilities, equipment, materials, and processes. Promote the use of low-carbon transportation equipment, reasonably increase the proportion of clean energy and new energy vehicles, promote the use of energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies for ports, station facilities and equipment, and operate transportation vessels; optimize transportation modes and methods of operation; focus on exploration Carry out reasonable paths for transport and multimodal transport, optimize the layout of bus lines and bus routes for passengers, and implement the strategy for the development of urban public transport priority; build intelligent traffic projects and accelerate the development of IoT technology in the field of highway and water transport. Promote the use of public information services; improve the public travel information service system; establish and improve the carbon emissions management system for transportation; actively explore the use of carbon trading, contract energy management and other market mechanisms.

Special funds for transportation and energy conservation and emission reduction will list some funds to support the construction of a low-carbon transportation system for urban pilot projects. The special funds mainly adopt the “subsidy by awards” method to give appropriate incentives to actual quantifiable pilot projects for energy conservation and emission reduction, and give a certain proportion of capacity building projects such as energy-saving and emission reduction statistics monitoring and evaluation systems, regulatory systems, and information service systems. Financial assistance. The competent provincial and municipal transportation authorities in which the pilot cities are located shall strengthen their support for technological transformation, equipment renewal, and other construction and management work of key pilot projects, and actively seek financial support from the same level.

The pilot project will establish a four-level mechanism of “Ministry of Transport and Transportation—Provincial Transportation Authority— Pilot Urban Transport Authority—Executive Subject of Pilot Project”. From February to August 2012, the Ministry of Transport will organize and verify the implementation plan of the pilot city pilot project. September 2012 to September 2014 is the pilot implementation phase. From October 2014 to December 2014, the Ministry of Transport will organize a summary assessment of the pilot work.
