Recently, the domestic epidemic has spread in many places, affecting many provinces. The traffic control measures taken by some places for epidemic prevention and control have affected the smooth flow of logistics. In recent days, in order to open up the “main artery” and unblock the “microcirculation”, the transportation and other departments have strengthened overall planning and coordination, and all regions and departments have taken positive actions to do their best to ensure the smooth logistics.
——Self inspection and self correction, strengthen dispatching and ensure smooth transportation channels.
On April 18, with the joint efforts of all parties, nearly 300 expressway toll stations in Liaoning Province resumed traffic. Next to the Dalian Bay toll station in Ganjingzi District, Dalian, local authorities have built a temporary emergency parking lot, which can accommodate up to 100 trucks. After being put into use, the vehicles will change from waiting for inspection at the exit to waiting for inspection in the parking lot, which effectively alleviates the congestion.
Since April 11, in order to break through the bottleneck of cross provincial logistics and ensure the smooth transportation channel, the Ministry of transport has established a special class for highway maintenance to carry out dispatching every day and guide all localities to carry out self inspection and self correction of closing toll stations and service areas. According to statistics, as of 24:00 on April 23, 11 toll stations had been closed on expressways in all provinces (autonomous regions and cities), accounting for 0.10% of the total toll stations, a decrease of 667 or 98.38% compared with April 10; A total of 27 service areas were closed, accounting for 0.41% of the total number of service areas, 337 less than that on April 10, a decrease of 92.58%.
——Optimize management and control policies to improve truck traffic efficiency.
Cancel the epidemic prevention inspection points set in the main line or service area of the expressway, add nucleic acid detection points in the expressway exit, service area and other areas, strengthen the operation monitoring of the road network and timely solve the problem of blocking the road network… In recent days, all regions and departments have made efforts to optimize control measures to make the passage of trucks more efficient and smooth. The transportation department of Hubei Province, together with the public security, health and other departments, deployed nearly 100000 additional staff to ensure the traffic order of Expressway checkpoints. All expressway operation units opened enough toll crossings, opened up “green channels” for freight vehicles and set up guidance signs to facilitate their rapid passage. Jiangxi Province has set up more than 180 antigen monitoring points in expressway service areas and other areas to ensure rapid results within 15 minutes. Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province simplified the inspection requirements. The information of agricultural and sideline products transportation vehicles with passes can be checked and confirmed, and the driver’s on-site antigen test result is negative.
——Start the transfer station, promote the pass and ensure the transportation of key materials.
On April 18, the emergency transfer station of Zhejiang triangle was officially put into operation. At noon that day, a truck drove out of Anting transfer station in Jiading, Shanghai. After checking the relevant information at the highway crossing, it arrived at Hangzhou transfer station in Zhejiang under the guidance of traffic police. After the completion of the disinfection and sterilization of the epidemic prevention area, the shipment and antigen and nucleic acid tests will be returned to Shanghai in the afternoon to complete the cargo transfer smoothly. It is understood that there are six of the first batch of important material transfer stations in the Yangtze River Delta, and four have been completed at present.
While promoting the use of emergency material transfer stations in all localities and ensuring the cross regional transportation of key materials, the Ministry of transport also vigorously promotes the unified style of key material transportation vehicle passes, and urges all localities to handle them online, pick them up and do them immediately, so as to ensure sufficient distribution and achieve National mutual recognition.
——We will strive to reduce the burden on logistics enterprises and strengthen care for truck drivers.
“Affected by the epidemic, the orders of enterprises have decreased and the operation is facing certain difficulties. We are relieved that the district has issued subsidy policies in time.” Said Wang Xiaohong, deputy general manager of Jiangsu jialida logistics company. On April 16, Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province issued a policy to arrange subsidies of no less than 20 million yuan for enterprises in the jurisdiction that meet the requirements of closed-loop management of local freight vehicles during the epidemic prevention and control period, so as to reduce the logistics and transportation costs of enterprises.
Not just Wuxi. Recently, relevant departments in Jiangsu issued the “policies and measures on effectively responding to the new changes and impacts of the epidemic and further assisting enterprises in relief”, proposing to include logistics enterprises involved in epidemic prevention and control and providing guarantee for production and living materials into the scope of special financial support and give fixed subsidies. Hefei City, Anhui Province issued a relief policy, which clearly gave drivers who transported the production materials of key enterprises a subsidy of 300 yuan per person per day, and gave freight enterprises undertaking the transportation of production materials of key enterprises a subsidy of 30% in terms of employee nucleic acid detection and procurement of protective facilities, with a maximum of no more than 100000 yuan.
While providing relief to logistics enterprises, relevant local departments also strengthen care for truck drivers to ensure their working and living conditions. Fujian Province has issued 10 measures to care for truck drivers and ensure smooth traffic, and proposed to provide food delivery, convenient shopping and other services for truck drivers from medium and high-risk areas. Changshu, Jiangsu Province, prepared “love bags” for passing truck drivers and distributed mineral water, bread and other food, masks, disinfectant wipes and other epidemic prevention items. CCCC investment (Hubei) Operation Management Co., Ltd. issues free meal coupons to truck drivers at toll stations and service areas under its jurisdiction, so that drivers can eat hot and delicious meals.
