BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- China’s Ministry of Transport has recently unveiled a three-year plan to enhance transport conditions in poverty-stricken areas in a period from 2018 to 2020.
According to the plan, by 2020, a transport network will be basically established in the impoverished areas to achieve unimpeded, secure and convenient transport conditions.
In the poverty-stricken areas, townships and villages with conditions will have access to hardened roads and the counties with conditions will have access to second-level roads or above.
Meanwhile, a road construction, management and maintenance and operation mechanism in rural areas will be established and improved.
The provincial competent departments of transportation must combine the actual conditions in the region to implement and refine the three-year plan, and do a good job on fund guarantees and policy guarantees. Transport authorities at all levels must strengthen basic data management, monitor traffic statistics for poverty alleviation, and strengthen interpretation of policies, said the plan.
