TAC Chairman welcomes Government's promulgation of Transport Strategy Blueprint
*******************************************************************************
The Chairman of the Transport Advisory Committee (TAC), Professor Wong Sze-chun, welcomed the Transport and Logistics Bureau's promulgation of the Transport Strategy Blueprint (the Blueprint) today (February 6).
Professor Wong, said, "The Blueprint proposes a series of forward-looking and concrete measures to realise the vision of 'Implementing a People-centric Approach, Strengthening Connectivity with Both the Mainland and the World, Promoting Efficient Travel, and Embracing a Green Lifestyle.' Its vision and recommendations are closely tied to people's livelihoods, economy and social development, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development and efficient operation of Hong Kong's transportation system in the coming decades.
"I have noticed that the Blueprint incorporates suggestions from the TAC, including leveraging technology to enhance public transport services, stepping up efforts to advance the development of autonomous vehicles, building a low-carbon living circle, and advancing the '15-minute neighbourhood' planning concept, truly taking to heart the principles of convenience and benefit for the people.
"Technological development is unstoppable, and Hong Kong must move with the tide. I particularly admire the goals and measures in the Blueprint related to AI, digital traffic management, autonomous driving, and the low-altitude economy, which enable members of the public to utilise the most advanced technologies in Hong Kong's transportation system, making daily commuting safer and more convenient.
"The TAC will continue to provide advice and suggestions to the Government in line with the Blueprint's strategies, aiming for the efficient implementation of these measures. The TAC expects the Government to maintain Hong Kong's globally renowned transportation infrastructure and public transport services, consolidate the advantages of the transport and logistics industry, and build a more livable city while enhancing its status as an international shipping centre."
