| Summary | According to the strategic plans for national land space development, future development for the western corridor of Taiwan will focus on improving the quality of the Built Environment through innovative means. The metropolis of central Taiwan will emphasize preserving a high quality life environment as well as promoting a burgeoning technology industry. It should also consolidate its network structure and keep Built Environments at a suitable scale. This project set a vision for the central region of the western corridor of Taiwan as developing a competitive, humanity-oriented, and sustainable transportation environment. The development objectives are as follows. Eliminate transportation bottlenecks for both railway and highway systems. Support transportation needs which are derived from industry development. Improve commute transportation service. Build public transportation systems which possess both fair and efficient characteristics. Develop a safe, low-carbon, humanity-oriented, and intelligent transportation environment. Due to being located in the central area of Taiwan, the central region of Taiwan has a destiny for its intra-regional traffic to be easily interfered with by traffic. Each area in this region also has its specific issues and problems regarding providing transport services. First of all, as a core metropolis of the central region, the total transportation system in Taichung City has to respond to the new political reform of the amalgamation of Taichung City and Taichung County. Second, transportation services within the mountain area in this region have to be provided discreetly under a spatial framework of preserving Central Mountain areas. Third, although the development in rural areas and remote districts have low density and are relatively dispersed, governments still have to provide friendly basic transportation services based on the principle of equality, especially in the situation that these areas and districts are mainly composed of elderly and children. Fourth, transportation development bases for sightseeing districts need to be appropriately managed and flexibly supplied. To respond to the above issues in the central region, this project makes several development strategies for each aspect of transportation systems. Rail system: to build an integrated regional rail transportation network. Highway system: to reinforce and support a hierarchical highway system. Public transportation and humanity-oriented transportation: to establish a friendly transportation environment. Spatial integration: to strengthen spatial links among areas in this region. Sightseeing transportation: to create a mode of sightseeing transportation with flexible supply and rational management. The pattern of the transportation development in the central region of the western corridor of Taiwan needs to be changed, especially in the situation of the population of Taiwan would gradually decrease in the future and the pressures in current transportation systems would be alleviated. Future transportation systems should play the role of leading an intensive development on national land space and integrating the development of a transportation and land-use system in a compact way so that it can reach the goals of developing regional space with efficiency and good quality. In light of promoting and implementing the transportation strategies in the central region, this project proposes some suggestions, as follows. Establish the basic common consensus and identity in each related government sector. Implement the management of Right-of-Way to improve the entire transportation environment. Accelerate implementation of strategies for regional transportation management. Communicate and negotiate among government sectors actively. Reform the institution to enhance the incentives and energy to promote implementation. |
