(CCR/CS15-MOT)

1. Project Background

With rapideconomic development and acceleration of urbanization, the urban motorizationof Chinese cities entered into a boost period. Civil car ownership in China hasreached 279 million by the end of 2015. The fast growth of cars in many cities,such as Beijing and Shanghai, has led to severe traffic congestion, rapidincrease of pollutants and carbon dioxide emissions, and decrease of the livingquality of the urban residents, and caused enormous economic loss and seriousconstraint to sustainable urban development. Therefore, to ease congestion inlarge cities and reduce the carbon emissions has become a major challengefacing municipal governments at all levels. Governments at both the nationaland the local levels and all relevant departments have regarded “addressingglobal climate change” as the fundamental development strategy of the nationand included it into the relevant medium- and long-term development planning.

Ministryof Transport (MOT), as the central government department responsible forguiding the urban passenger transport, has taken the traffic congestion andcarbon emissions reduction as one of the top priorities. In the face of hugechallenges of increasingly serious traffic congestion and carbon dioxideemissions in large cities, it is urgent to learn from the internationalpractical experience, formulate effective laws and policies and take reasonabletechnical and economic measures so as to guide the scientific development ofurban transport in China to ease traffic congestion and reduce the carbonemissions.

Under suchbackground, the GEF-funded Large City Congestion and Carbon Reduction Projecthas been approved. MOT is the central executing agency of the Project; theSuzhou, Harbin and Chengdu municipal government is the local executingagencies; the project management office of Ministry of Transport (hereinafterreferred as “National PMO”) and the three local project management office(hereinafter referred as “Local PMO”) are responsible for respective Projectswhile the National PMO is to provide the technical support and thecoordination. The World Bank is one of the implementing agencies of GEF.

The project iscomprised of five components: (1)"Synergy Policy Study of Citys MasterPlanning and Urban Transport Planning", "Urban Transport Hub Layoutand Function Optimization", "Monitoring and Evaluation System forUrban Transport Carbon Emissions and Pilot City Evaluation","Research on China Urban Intelligent Public Transport System Developmentand Application", "Technical Standard and Mechanism of InformationStatistics and Evaluation Method"; "Guidelines Study for UrbanIntelligent Public Transport System Development and Application","Technical Standard and Mechanism of Information and Service for UrbanIntegrated Transportation Hub", which are carried out by TPRI, CATs andRIOH; The “TransFORM” platform and knowledge dissemination activities carriedout by “China Transportation News”(CTN). “Manual of Urban TrafficDemand Management in China”,"Concept Paper for13th Five-Year Plan of Transportation Development”, “Green Transport FinancingStrategy Study”, “New Energy BusOperation Evaluation Framework Study”, and “Study on Connection Standards between Highways and UrbanRoads”;(2) Conduct consulting service on concerning trafficcongestion and carbon reduction in Suzhou;(3) Conduct consulting service onconcerning traffic congestion and carbon reduction in Chengdu;(4)Conductconsulting service on concerning traffic congestion and carbon reduction inHarbin; (5) Conduct capacity building, project supervision and projectmanagement.

1.项目背景

随着经济快速发展和城市化进程的加快，中国城市机动化进入了一个快速发展时期，到2015年底，全国机动车保有量达2.79亿辆。很多城市，特别是像北京、上海等中心城市，由于汽车数量过快增长而形成交通拥堵，污染物和二氧化碳排放量急剧增加，降低了城市居民的生活质量，造成了巨大的经济损失，已经严重制约了城市的可持续发展。缓解大城市拥堵，减少碳排放已经成为各级城市政府面临的重大课题。中国各级政府及有关部门均将应对全球气候变化作为国家发展的基本战略并纳入相关的中长期发展规划中。

交通运输部作为指导城市客运的中央政府主管部门，将缓解交通拥堵和减少碳排放作为最优先的事项之一，面对大城市日益严重的交通拥堵和二氧化碳排放的巨大挑战，迫切需要借鉴国际实践经验，制定有效的法规政策，采取合理的技术经济措施，指导中国城市交通科学发展，缓解城市交通拥堵，减少碳排放。
