Recent Transport Management Measures in Beijing
With rapid socio-economic growth, the development of mass
transit has been prioritised to increase transport efficiency
and mitigate congestion;
A focus on the development of subways and large capacity
rapid transit systems, an aspiration to develop as a ‘public-
transport city’ with an attractive, fast and convenient mass
transit service;
Implementation of ‘four priority’ policies to improve the PT
system (land use; investment; dedicated road lanes; fiscal
support);
Establish the social welfare importance of public transport.

and official business car purchase;
The new measures started from the 1st January of 2012,
with Beijing car purchasers needing to draw lots to
obtain a car license plate;
A Beijing driver is only allowed to own one car, but car
owners can update vehicles without entering the lot-
drawing procedure;
For a period of five years (2012-2017), applications
which would increase the size of the governmental and
public agency vehicle fleet are not allowed.
