On January 26th, Shandong Provincial Department of Transportation held a press conference of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024 to introduce the situation and work arrangement of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024 in Shandong Province.

Spring Festival travel rush officially starts today and ends on March 5th, 15 days before the festival and 25 days after the festival, totaling 40 days. This year’s Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival after the epidemic has turned smoothly. The Spring Festival holiday has been increased from 7 days to 8 days. At the same time, the state also encourages all units to arrange employees to take a break on New Year’s Eve, which can add up to a long holiday of 9 days. Policies to promote the consumption of cultural tourism are being introduced all over the country, and our province will also launch a series of activities such as "friendly shandong New Year’s Celebration". The cultural tourism market is heating up, the masses have a strong desire to travel, and the flow of family visits and tourism will increase substantially. It is expected that the cross-regional personnel flow will reach a record high The Ministry of Transport has made it clear that expressways will be free for 9 days during the Spring Festival holiday. It is estimated that the traffic volume of self-driving passenger cars on expressways in Spring Festival travel rush will exceed 60 million, reaching a record high. The traffic volume of expressways will run at a high level, and the traffic pressure will increase compared with previous years. In terms of passenger flow of traditional commercial transportation, it will reach about 48 million passengers, and it will also be restored to the level before the epidemic, so sufficient transportation capacity has been prepared. However, high-speed rail and civil aviation may still have short-term shortage of transportation capacity in hot routes and hot areas during peak hours. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the passenger and cargo flow increased, and the bad weather was prone to occur, so Spring Festival travel rush Baotong was under certain pressure to ensure smooth supply and safe travel.

The 40-day period in Spring Festival travel rush is the period of the largest personnel flow and the most concentrated travel, which is related to the vital interests of the people. The CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to Spring Festival travel rush’s work, and demand that the transportation service guarantee and production safety be well coordinated to ensure the safety, order and warmth of Spring Festival travel rush. In order to do a good job in organizing and guaranteeing the work in Spring Festival travel rush this year, the provincial government established the working mechanism of Spring Festival travel rush in Shandong Province in 2024 to coordinate and organize the work in Spring Festival travel rush. The Provincial Department of Transportation took the lead in formulating the "Work Organization Guarantee Scheme for Spring Festival travel rush in the Province" and supporting measures. On January 24th, the provincial government held a special meeting to emphasize Spring Festival travel rush and the work of safety in production.

In addition, rural areas are also places where travelers gather during the Spring Festival, and we will also urge the rural passenger transport capacity to be put into operation.The second is to strengthen the self-driving service guarantee.In view of the strong demand for self-driving travel in Spring Festival travel rush, the Provincial Department of Transportation organized the theme activity of "Warm Way Home" in the expressway service area throughout the province, with the theme of "Happy Service Area Tesco New Year Festival" to create a festive atmosphere, improve service quality and display a civilized image.

For migrant workers returning to their hometowns and returning to work, students will be instructed to carry out "point-to-point" transportation services in a timely manner according to their needs. At the same time, we will fully implement the travel priority policies for military personnel, firefighters and rescuers, and open up a "green channel."The fourth is to improve the transportation connection.Reasonable arrangement of bus and tram, urban rail transit, taxis and other transport capacity and bus stations, railway stations, airports, docks and other transport hubs, to ensure the connection of passengers such as passenger trains, night arrival flights and passenger ships.

For 40 days, Spring Festival travel rush continuously carried out investigation and rectification of potential risks and self-examination and spot checks to ensure the safety and order of all links in Spring Festival travel rush.The third is to strengthen the supervision of key areas.The key areas and parts of Spring Festival travel rush will be included in the scope of key control, and measures such as notification, interview, administrative punishment and credit punishment will be fully utilized to implement the whole process of production safety supervision.The fourth is to improve the safety emergency response capability.Strengthen the monitoring of severe weather and establish a mechanism for rapid meteorological notification and linkage response.

Here, I also remind the car owners and friends that the free passage time of the expressway is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane. There is no need to stay at the entrance and wait for the free time to start. If the free time is coming to an end, you can drive out of the expressway nearby and then drive into the expressway to reach your destination.
