Collection of traffic congestion charges, to have a broad consensus

Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission Director Zhou Zhengyu 3, said the future of Beijing will implement a more stringent demand management, regulation of motor vehicle ownership and use. For the mini bus, motor vehicle will implement more stringent measures to limit line, the pilot study levy congestion charge, staggering from work and will also have a new policy introduced to alleviate the congestion of traffic in the capital. This is since 2010, 2013, Beijing again will levy heavy traffic congestion on the agenda.

It is not difficult to understand the new path of comprehensive treatment and blockage by using economic means to regulate people's behavior and reduce the intensity of the use of motor vehicles. At present, the collection of traffic congestion fees can play a role, but also the lack of adequate assessment conditions. At present, Beijing's single center urban pattern has just begun to adjust, focusing on congestion area and the administrative agency density and residential density has not been completed, out of office and living needs, even if the traffic congestion fee standards set up again, motor vehicle traffic is difficult to adjust.

Also see, for traffic congestion charge, different motor vehicle drivers have different sensitivity. For the bus and the rich, no matter how the traffic congestion charge is not sensitive. Therefore, the utility of the traffic congestion charge can only be applied to the general motor vehicle owners. If reform of the bus and bus first cannot proceed, then impose traffic jam fee may will have scarce transport resources more assigned to the bus and the wealthy, make public traffic pressure increased sharply, leading to the increase in the cost of public transportation. And the increase in the cost of public transport will result in the economic loss of the whole city.

In fact, from the practice of international large cities to see, the effect of congestion charge is not clear. Singapore, Tokyo because transit system. Bus efficiency higher than private cars, so people happy to choose to travel by public transport, the London congestion charge levied doesn improve congestion effect. This shows that the traffic characteristics of different cities have a decisive influence on the traffic congestion charge. In contrast, Beijing's traffic environment is more complex, the effect of congestion charge is more difficult to forecast.

In essence, the original intention of any public policy should be to maintain and increase public rights for the purpose of. Whether the collection and when to collect the traffic congestion fee, but also when it is considered. Although it is a severe traffic situation, the restriction must be built on the premise of not increasing the cost of public transport and providing the public with a variety of ways to travel.

Moment, Beijing launched the action of a series of non capital function ease, Beijing "45" plan, also put forward the accelerated road traffic infrastructure construction and so on a series of goals, these are ease traffic congestion is the fundamental strategy. Layout of urban areas multi center parallel development, the supply of public transport to meet the travel needs of the public, in key areas and sections of the implementation of levy of traffic congestion fee to highlight counseling role, rather than just highlights the role of limiting the public right of way. Therefore, the first permanent cure, then the symptoms, is the premise of a congestion charge consensus around the past.
