HK Full Steam Ahead with IT Initiatives

To encourage the use of new technologies in transport management in the new millenium is one of Hong Kong's transport policy objectives, Secretary for Transport of Hong Kong, Nicholas Ng, said Thursday.

Ng was officiating at the opening of the Asia Pacific Electronics Symposium 2000, which featured discussions on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and e-commerce.

He said: "Being one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in the world with over 11 million passenger trips made every day, Hong Kong faces the unique challenge of providing a safe, efficient and reliable transport system which can meet the social, economic and recreational needs of the community while at the same time is conducive to the sustained development of our society."

"Information technology will increase the efficiency of traffic management, improve the overall capacity of the road system and enhance road and vehicle safety. Traffic can flow more freely, minimizing the environmental impact that comes with congestion, " he added.

He pointed out that to encourage the use of IT, the HKSAR government had implemented the Electronic Service Delivery Scheme to provide public services round-the-clock via the internet and other electronic means.
