The Ministry of Transport held a press conference on October 28. Spokesperson Liu Pengfei stated that it will promote the high-quality development of the "four good rural roads" through measures such as improving the rural road infrastructure network, improving rural road transport service capabilities, and promoting the formulation and revision of laws and regulations. . Data shows that by the end of 2020, China’s rural roads have reached 4.38 million kilometers, and the proportion of graded roads is 94.8%. The towns and villages that meet the conditions have been able to access hardened roads and buses, and the problem of farmers’ "difficulty in travelling" has been solved.

In the next step, the Ministry of Transport will adhere to the "six focus", promote the high-quality development of the "four good rural roads", accelerate the construction of a strong transportation country, serve the rural revitalization strategy, and help farmers and rural areas to prosper together.

One is to focus on improving the rural road infrastructure network. Promote the construction and transformation of third-level and above highways to external roads in towns and townships, promote the construction of access and hardening roads in natural villages (groups) with larger populations, and speed up the construction of industrial roads, tourist roads, and resource roads.

The second is to focus on improving the quality of rural road maintenance. Establish and improve a long-term and stable rural road maintenance and operation mechanism, conduct regular road condition assessments, and further develop various public welfare posts of the "four good rural roads".

The third is to focus on improving the capacity of rural road transportation services. Consolidate and expand the achievements of qualified villages to pass passenger buses, comprehensively improve the county and village three-level logistics system, accelerate the construction of the rural delivery logistics system, promote the integrated development of passenger, cargo and mail, and promote "one vehicle for multiple transportation, one station for multiple functions, and one network for multiple purposes." .

The fourth is to focus on improving the ability to ensure the safety of rural roads. Strengthen rural road construction and quality management, comprehensively improve the intrinsic safety level of rural roads, improve the safety level of rural road transportation, and strengthen the emergency protection capabilities of rural roads.

The fifth is to focus on improving the capacity of rural road governance. Promote the revision of the "Highway Law" and other regulations, and initiate the revision and compilation of some regulations and standard guidelines. Do a good job in the implementation of the "reward for compensation" policy, strengthen the supervision and assessment of rural roads, and improve the level of rural road information management.

Sixth, focus on the leading role of the typical demonstration of rural roads. Strengthen the follow-up and guidance of the pilot work of the "Four Good Rural Roads" as a traffic powerhouse, do a good job in the demonstration and establishment of the "Four Good Rural Roads" and "Integration of Urban and Rural Transportation", and optimize the brand building of the "Beautiful Rural Roads".
