ADB Transport Activites in the People's Republic of China

The need for development assistance has grown enormously in size and complexity amid a changing global environment. Transport infrastructure development, however, remains an essential area of ADB's assistance since adequate roads, ports, and railways are needed to ensure sustainable and efficient pro-poor economic growth, improve economic productivity, and create the conditions in which the private sector can prosper. Good infrastructure is also needed for the efficient delivery of social services such as education and public health.

Since 1995, ADB has implemented more than 150 road projects in the PRC.

ADB's specific strategic objectives in the road sector include

• constructing roads that connect major growth centers and promote linkages with hinterland economies
• integrating the rural and urban road networks with the national trunk highway system to ensure that a system of roads provides adequate access to poor areas
• promoting road safety
• adopting appropriate pricing policies to ensure optimum use of road transport capacity and to promote cost recovery
• promoting private sector investment through securitization, leasing, listing of shares or build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects
• building capacity to increase the commercial orientation and efficiency of road operations
• improving highway and urban road administration and evaluation techniques
• facilitating the development of an integrated and sustainable transport system, and promoting better transport planning practices
• promoting regional cooperation

This website presents the key results of two road projects in the PRC:

1. Capacity Building in Traffic Safety Planning and Management
