The State Council counselor recommends that parking fees be collected in Beijing

The State Council “Think Tank” advises Beijing’s transportation strategy to control car consumption in the next five years—

For Beijing traffic, from the Think Tank of the State Council, down to the civilian population, there is a saying that: In the next five years, the consumption of cars will be controlled, and parking fees will be considered; the development of public transportation will increase community shuttle buses.

This morning, the reporter learned from the Transportation Commission that the 12th Five-Year Plan has entered the middle stage. The transportation department will incorporate good suggestions that are widely concerned by the people and meet the development philosophy into the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

● Development of buses to increase the number of ferry buses connecting people to stations The half of the suggestions made by the citizens are all related to the development of public transport. Such as optimizing the public transport network, increasing the coverage of public transport subway construction.

The reporter saw in his suggestions that many citizens proposed to increase community shuttle buses. Use the shuttle bus to solve the problem of the last kilometer or several kilometers of citizens from the community to the station.

Chen Yanling, director of the planning committee of the Traffic Commission, said that urban transit should have a fast lane network, a main line network, and a branch line network in order to be comprehensive and convenient for the public.

Shen Mengpei, a counselor of the State Council, believes that the bus lines do not require the long lines of the main roads. Instead, they are converted into several short-distance lines to connect with each other.

● Controlling the car's taking into account parking space occupancy fees According to the latest statistics from the traffic department, the current average daily increase of cars in the city is about 2,000 cars. It is estimated that the total number of motor vehicles will exceed 7 million by 2015.

This means that the average speed of the road network in the downtown area will barely reach 15 kilometers per hour, which is even slower than the speed of the road network when the Beijing metropolitan area was congested after September 19 this year.

State Department counselor Guo Tingjie analyzed that “the whole city is a car, there is no limit to the use of vehicles, and the cost of use is too low. Therefore, Beijing must control the consumption of cars in the next five years, consider the introduction of parking space occupancy fees, and prohibit the provision of units to private cars. Free parking spaces and other economic means to regulate and control."

International experience According to Japanese law, a car must be bought before buying a car. When a person or unit purchases a car, it must provide a certificate of having a fixed parking space. This fixed parking space can be either self-owned or long-term leased. The parking space must be within 500 to 2000 meters of the unit or residence, otherwise the traffic control department Will refuse to give a license to the new car.

At the same time, the cost of parked vehicles in public parking lots is also very high.
