On September 6, Li Xiaopeng, Minister of the Ministry of Transport, presided over the ministerial meeting to convey and study the relevant spirit of the Party Central Committee, study to accelerate the construction of the main framework of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, and integrated passenger transportation hub investment subsidies project management and other work.

The meeting stressed that after the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Luding County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the Ministry of Transport immediately launched an emergency response to direct the Sichuan transport sector to immediately investigate the situation, made arrangements for rescue and relief work, and sent working groups, expert groups to the earthquake zone, to assist in guiding local government to do a good job in earthquake relief work. The next step, the Ministry and the National Railway Administration, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the State Post Bureau should seriously study, understand and resolutely implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, earnestly implement the instructions and requirements of Premier Li Keqiang and other leading members of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, do their best in rescue and relief, earthquake relief transportation work, minimize casualties, do their best to protect the lives and property of the people, repair the damaged traffic, and strive to ensure smooth passage. To guide the Sichuan transport authorities to do a good job of emergency transport to ensure access, emergency supplies transport security and other work. Emergency green channels should be ensured unimpeded, rescue should be scientific to strictly prevent secondary disasters, and they should assist local governments to do a good job in rescuing lives, treating the injured and relocating the affected people. Construction sites of relevant traffic projects in the quake zone will be suspended and safety checks will be carried out to ensure personnel safety.

It is pointed out that the national comprehensive three-dimensional transport network backbone is the main channel of China's comprehensive transport system, and it is the backbone network with the highest resource allocation efficiency, the highest technical level and the largest transportation intensity among various transportation modes. The Outline of the Construction of a Strong Transportation Country, the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transport Network Planning Outline and the 11th Meeting of the Financial and Economic Commission of the CPC Central Committee have all made important arrangements for accelerating the building of the backbone of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transport network. It should be fully understood that accelerating the construction of the main skeleton of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network is a key initiative to implement the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on comprehensively strengthening infrastructure construction to build a modern infrastructure system, an important grasp of the implementation of the "two outlines", and a powerful initiative to expand effective investment in transportation infrastructure. It not only plays an important role in stabilizing the economic market and keeping the economic operation within a reasonable range, but also plays an important role in building a modern comprehensive transportation system, building a "national 123 travel traffic circle" and a "global 123 express logistics circle", accelerating the construction of a transportation power, and striving to be the pioneer of China's modernization.

The meeting stressed that we should pay attention to systematic planning, carefully sort out the progress and existing problems in the construction of various paths, branch lines and channels within the main skeleton, and guide all localities and fields to promote the construction of the main skeleton in stages. We should pay attention to resource integration, focus on improving the efficiency of integrated transport and the economical and intensive use of resources, promote the line position coordination and cross-sectional spatial integration of linear infrastructure such as railways and highways, promote the transport channel from single to integrated, from flat to three-dimensional, and accelerate the formation of green, low-carbon and efficient multimodal transport development pattern. We should focus on synergy, in accordance with the idea of "industry integration, departmental coordination, provincial implementation", to guide the relevant provinces and municipalities and departments to strengthen communication and docking, and collaborate to promote research and construction.

The meeting stressed that integrated passenger transport hubs, which bring together various modes of transport, play an important role in giving play to the comparative advantages of various modes of transport, improving the efficiency of integrated transport networks and promoting passenger connection transport and facilitating people's travel. We should firmly implement the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, speed up the integrated development of comprehensive passenger transport hubs, and improve the combined efficiency of transportation modes to better meet the people's needs for inclusive, diversified, high-quality and personalized travel. We should give full play to the guiding role of the subsidy funds, adhere to serving the people, the reform and innovation and develop with the hard and soft simultaneously, highlight the integration of fusion, high-quality development, convenient services, guide each mode of transport close connection, integration and linkage and convenient interchange, guide to improve the construction mechanism of the hub, promote the development of hub safety, wisdom and green. We should focus on guiding the standard convergence of various modes of transport, management synergy, service integration, to enhance the convenience of service and human culture. We should strengthen the coordination of departments, form a joint force in the construction of comprehensive passenger transport hubs, and strengthen supervision and inspection. We should do a good job of follow-up evaluation and constantly adjust and improve our work initiatives.
