TAC briefed on progress of Traffic and Transport Strategy Study
***************************************************************
The Transport Advisory Committee (TAC) was briefed today (November 26) by the Government on the latest progress of the Traffic and Transport Strategy Study (TTSS) and the general directions of the Transport Strategy Blueprint (the Blueprint).
The Blueprint is scheduled for announcement this year, and will set out the vision statement of "Implementing a People-centric Approach, Strengthening Connectivity with both the Mainland and the World, Promoting Efficient Travel, and Embracing a Green Lifestyle". It has formulated three main themes for the future traffic and transport development, namely "Enjoyable Journeys", "Well-connected City" and "Healthy Mobility".
The theme "Enjoyable Journeys" upholds a public transport-oriented policy and optimises passengers' travel experiences. The theme "Well-connected City" focuses on embracing advanced technology to improve transport efficiency, promoting digitalised traffic management. The theme "Healthy Mobility" actively promotes green travel from a planning perspective. Centred around these three main themes, the Government has formulated six key strategies covering multiple recommendations.
The TAC Chairman, Professor Wong Sze-chun, said, "Members noted with appreciation the progress of the TTSS and expressed views at the meeting on the main themes and key strategies of the Blueprint. We welcome the Government's various new measures, including building a new generation of Transport Interchange Hubs, enhancing the flexibility of public transport, promoting the development of autonomous vehicles, implementing smart motorway management, conducting a new round of a parking demand study, advocating a "15-minute neighbourhood" planning concept, etc. We support the Government in continuing to leverage the strengths of Hong Kong's efficient public transport, enhancing local and cross-boundary transport networks, advancing smart technology for upgrading and transformation, and promoting low-carbon and inclusive mobility."
Members anticipate that through implementing the Blueprint, Hong Kong's traffic and transport development will continue to advance, creating a city that is more liveable, business friendly and attractive to visitors, thereby enhancing the flow of people and goods within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and promoting the economic and sustainable development of Hong Kong.
