(HBO) –Bui Van Khanh, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee urged increasing economic sources for transport development at a conference held in Lac Thuy district to review performance of the province’s transport sector in 2017 and set out tasks for 2018.


Bui Van Khanh, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee, talks to leaders of the provincial Transport Department and enterprises at the function.

 In 2017, the department recommended the provincial People’s Committee issue a number of documents, such as the auto transport development planning toward 2020 with a vision toward 2030, parking planning toward 2025, a project to build cement roads for 2017 – 2020, and pilot operation of electric buses to serve tourists to Tien Pagoda in Phu Lao commune, Lac Thuy district.

 Concerning the management of transport, vehicles and drivers, the department always requested transport companies, bus stations, and wharves to build plans, prepare vehicles and other necessaries to ensure safe and smooth travelling. It also assessed and classified local bus stations following the national technical standards. Statistics showed that Hoa Binh had 103 transport companies and hundreds of household businesses operating in the sector, with 711 vehicles.

 Last year, local roads were severely affected by heavy rains and storms, particularly a low-pressure tropical storm taking place from October 9-12 which caused damage worth billions of VND. The sector worked with relevant forces to promptly handle transport disruptions. 

 In addition to traffic law education, the sector checked 2,363 vehicles and found 865 of which violating the law, collecting total fines of 6.64 billion VND and revoking 393 driving licences.

  The conference discussed measures to fulfill tasks set for the sector in 2018.

 Addressing the event, Bui Van Khanh, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee, lauded the role of the transport sector last year and asked the sector to continue administrative reform, improve management, and ensure traffic safety.

 He recommended the department work with the Finance Department to develop rural transport infrastructure, and put forth measures to attract investment in infrastructure projects.
