The joint deployment of three ministries and commissions will fully clear highway overage fees

The Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Supervision will jointly deploy special clean-up work for toll roads, and will resolutely withdraw the toll sites where violations are set, the charges expire, and the distance between sites is not in compliance with regulations, and excessively high fees and charges are reduced. This was the deputy minister of transportation, Feng Zhenglin, who stated at the work conference on rectification of the national transport system yesterday.

Feng Zhenglin said that in deploying the rectification task of the transport industry in 2011, he said that it is necessary to strengthen supervision of toll highways, standardize toll collection, road maintenance and other operations and management practices, and provide quality services to traffic vehicles and personnel. Secondly, it is necessary to strictly manage the tolls for toll road vehicles that are reimbursed by the government, and it is strictly forbidden to misappropriate misappropriations in violation of regulations.

Feng Zhenglin pointed out that last year, the national toll exemption was 10.2 billion yuan, and 17 provinces and cities across the country completely canceled the government reimbursement of second-class highway tolls. A total of 1,723 toll collection sites were cancelled, and 225 cases of “three chaos” highways were investigated and dealt with by the whole system, giving party discipline. The administrative discipline and organization handled 166 people.

Feng Zhenglin demanded that in 2011 focus should be placed on the work: First, strictly regulate law enforcement behavior and deepen the governance of highway "three chaos." The second is to regulate the management of toll roads. To standardize toll collection, road maintenance and traffic services and other business management practices. The toll station shall uniformly and publicly disclose to the public the names of the toll stations, the examination and approval authorities, the toll collection units, the toll collection standards, the starting and ending time of the toll collection, and the supervision telephone. The third is to resolutely correct unfair practices that harm the interests of the people in the area of ​​transport infrastructure construction. Fourth, vigorously strengthen the construction of the transportation sector and industry style.
