The past five years, increasing Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and CPPCC National Committee members called for the cancellation of Shanghai Expressway toll.

However, the traffic in Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, Qian Qiuping said in reply, "abolishing local toll proposal" that currently does not cancel the charges in operating high speed during the operation period, the next step will be for an important node of promoting the construction of trunk road network. In Shanghai, a mega-city to ease traffic congestion, requires a combination of market characteristics, can not copy the practices of other cities over the next ten years, the city will continue to give priority to the development of public transport, strengthening the car used to regulate.

Nearly five years has had to cancel high-speed charging sound

"Respect of Shanghai Expressway toll calls. "Most of the time in the Songjiang Shanghai Municipal People's Congress representatives, teachers training College President Qian Qiuping, Songjiang district, when it comes to high-speed charge said, high-speed resource imbalance at a glance, the representative and the members had been behind the calls for, reflect the actual needs of car owners.

In Qian Qiuping yiqian, Zhi Gong party Shanghai Municipal in city 2010 CPPCC plenary session three times Conference Shang submitted "Shanghai should gradually canceled city highway charges" of proposal; 2011, Shanghai City NPC representative, and, Fengxian district, Commission Deputy Director zhuoya in two Shang submitted has "on canceled suburb Highway charges, problem of recommends"; 2012, Shanghai City NPC representative, and Donghua University Professor Limin Zhu in two Shang submitted has "on gradually canceled Shanghai City Highway charges of recommends". In addition, the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress Bai Wanqing, had also called for the cancellation of the Expressway in the city of Shanghai in two charges.

Qian Qiuping believes that strategic understanding of urban-rural integration highway from Shanghai to free access, highway toll is not the primary means of regulating city traffic in the Center.

Surging News (www.thepaper.CN) queries when multiple replies on behalf of the relevant proposals of government departments found that "inadmissible" is one of the main reasons "from the perspective of regulating traffic flow, Shanghai should not be able to stop all highway tolls at the present stage, otherwise appears more congestion in the center of things", "once the cancellation charge, the highway will only become more congested. "

In this regard, Qian Qiuping does not agree. In her view, the traffic itself is a complex nonlinear systems, there are many factors affecting traffic jams. The so-called freeway traffic jams caused by free has two meanings: one is causing traffic jams in the Center, is the second cause is charging the traffic jam on the highway. System is a network of expressways, a road toll, of course, can reduce the highway's traffic, but traffic volume is fixed, this charge may also increase other Expressway traffic, thereby affecting the entire downtown traffic jams.

For example, from Zhejiang to Shanghai, arriving at Pudong airport has two highways G60 and the shenjiahu Expressway, ring outside the current status quo is G60 S20 to Pudong airport is the majority owner of choice shenjiahu similar high-speed journey, smooth, full line of traffic. Even people in several districts in the South of Pudong airport, Shanghai Shen Jia, also chose to go outside the ring and no go Lake speed, artificial outer ring line perennial congestion. The reasons, or because the outer ring is free of charge and the shenjiahu high-speed line charges too high tolls to outer ring road traffic. "Instructions to regulate traffic in the center of charges are antagonistic, we should take into consideration, the overall arrangement. "Qian Qiuping said.

She even believes that revocation of the highway toll station can enhance the quality and efficiency of the highway, highway toll stations more crowded context, simply build toll lanes and an increase in electronic toll collection ETC lanes does not overcome the congestion charging stations, free access is fundamental to solve the problem.

Recommendations gradually exploring the reform of changing fees to taxes

For this stage to repurchase funds highway toll right under pressure problems, said Qian Qiuping, such as from the suburban Metro guide downtown population and the gradient transfer of industry, thus solving mega-city operation pressure, improve urban quality point of view, funding problems can always be solved. Toll in Hainan Province to fuel tax policy has been implemented for many years, to guide them.

More interesting is that the Shenzhen meiguan Expressway, from 1995, opened to scheduled fees until 2027, but from April 1, 2014 0 o'clock, GuanLan meiguan high-speed Merlin to cancellation fee. This is the first operating period was the removal of the highway. Early termination charge is due to the Shenzhen Municipal Government spent about 2.7 billion yuan in buying back the highway. In addition, Shenzhen has revealed that southern light, salt discharge high speed and high speed along the Shenzhen is expected to cancel the charge.

Qian Qiuping recommendations from Shanghai construction of urban-rural integration strategy and the development of international metropolis in view of Highway charges, focusing on how to further enhance the efficiency of road, Shanghai Expressway toll policies will be canceled in Shanghai "Thirteen-Five" plans, formulate cancellation fee schedule, channel gradually advancing this work. Rural research notes of the Chinese Academy of

Qian Qiuping recommendations have long-term use and basic recovery funds for construction of highways, the first cancellation fee, free traffic. Due to contractual agreements with investors, by charging for repaying the balanced funds for construction of highways, using tools such as Government buying back recovery fees right, right now the time is ripe to cancel the charge.

In addition, the removal of all Shanghai Expressway toll station, proper arrangements for relevant staff. Retain the original provincial cross-border road the highway toll station, to charge non-Shanghai-brand vehicles.

Qian Qiuping also suggested that exploring the reform of changing fees to taxes step by step, through the fuel tax, allows owners to enjoy the Government standards for the construction of roads, by use of (oil) tax to ease the financial pressure on the Government. While the public finances the establishment of funds earmarked for road maintenance, the departments concerned can be made through the purchase of services, such as social tendering, professional maintenance, ensure the quality of traffic.

City traffic: public transport is the only way to develop

"Under the current conditions, highway toll to some extent, also played a role in regulating traffic flow, basic guarantee of long-distance, large-capacity communications channels open. "Shanghai Jiao Tong Wei said in reply Qian Qiuping representatives, in 2012, to withhold loan toll road construction, reduced the public's travel cost, extended the right to choose. Which the public can choose the financial security of roads, you can also choose efficient highway.

Shanghai traffic authority also points out that, within the administrative area of Shanghai Expressway, in addition to the 4 outside of the loan by the Government, and the rest for business high speed, is financed by the project company, the Shanghai Municipal Government signed exclusive contracts with the project company, prescribe a period for the fees and charges. For government debt reached the debt limit Highway and reach the operating period of operating Highway, in accordance with regulations cancellation fee in a timely manner, "Shanghai-Jiading Expressway are examples."

However, the Shanghai traffic authority also said that if the contract of the franchise period introduced high-speed charging policy, in the current context of increasing emphasis on administration according to law, compensation must be made to the project company. If carried out by the municipal and district levels, financial subsidies, subsidies amount to determine, funding channels, such as how to interpret the problems to be studied. Addressed through tax forms, it is difficult to achieve, "who uses, who benefits, who pays" and "do not use, do not pay" equitable principles, will form a "differential, the Equalization of burdens" problem, cannot protect the interests of different groups of road traffic road of equity and efficiency, cannot respond to the differentiation of the public aspirations. As for tax reform, because it involves the central authority, has no right to make a decision.

Shanghai Jiao Tong Wei pointed out that Shanghai, a mega-city, alleviate traffic congestion problems, the development of public transport is the only way to solve public transport especially commuter travel, the development practices of other international cities to us strongly to prove this point. According to the Shanghai urban traffic white paper (2013) require over the next ten years, the city will continue to give priority to the development of public transport, strengthening the car used to regulate. Ease the urban traffic congestion in Shanghai, requires a combination of available features, targeted measures, can not copy the practices of other cities.

However, the Shanghai traffic authority also said that with the development of Shanghai urban and rural and urban layout changes, regional development imbalances and uneven population distribution of growing, promoting the development of urban-rural integration and narrowing the development gap between regions, transport role cannot be ignored. It will take into consideration various factors, organizations actively study the city's high-speed pricing policy.

While, according to national specification charges highway of requirements and Shanghai social from all walks of life on charges high-speed of views recommends, Shanghai city traffic Board are speed up advance Shanghai City route Highway network of construction, towards in important node Zhijian, for example Metro and Center City Zhijian formed high-speed route and country province route Highway coexist of more channel network layout form, while guarantee traffic operation of reliability, while route Highway function of level sex also for public travel provides diversification of select.
