For Immediate Release
The Chartered Institute of
Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) Provides Key Suggestions on the
Toll Arrangements for Tai Lam Tunnel upon the Government’s Takeover
The CILTHK is a leading professional body in
the logistics and transport industry in Hong Kong. We support the Government’s
policy objectives of adopting a multi-pronged strategy to alleviate road
traffic congestion, encompassing efforts to improve transport infrastructure,
expand and enhance public transport services, and manage the use of roads.
In view of that, CILTHK support the
Government’s proposed toll arrangement, which leverages the latest technology
to implement time-varying tolls aimed at maintaining
smooth traffic at the Tai Lam Tunnel and ensuring the reliable
operation of public transport services utilizing the tunnel. We appreciate the
Transport Department for adopting a robust traffic modelling forecast approach,
incorporating various toll scenario tests to develop an optimized toll plan
that duly considers the congestion levels of parallel routes such as Tolo
Highway and Tuen Mun Road. Additionally, we welcome the Transport Department’s
prioritization of commercial vehicle operations and public transport services,
within the Tai Lam Tunnel. We believe that the reduction in toll charges for
bus services will enhance their operational efficiency and ultimately benefit
bus passengers. This initiative also opens up new opportunities to accommodate the
increasing traffic demands anticipated from population growth in the Northern
Metropolis.

香港運輸物流學會就政府接收大欖隧道後的收費建議方案提供建議
香港運輸物流學會是香港物流和運輸行業領先的專業機構。我們支持政府採取多管齊下的策略來緩解道路交通擁堵，包括改善交通基礎設施、擴展和提升公共交通服務以及道路使用管理等。
有鑑於此，香港運輸物流學會支持政府提出的收費安排，該安排利用最新技術實施分時段收費，旨在維持大欖隧道交通順暢，並確保隧道的公共交通服務的可靠營運。我們支持運輸署採用穩健的交通模型預測方法，結合各種收費情景測試，充分考慮了替代路線如吐露港公路和屯門公路的擁堵情況，制定出優化的收費計劃。此外，我們歡迎運輸署對於大欖隧道商用車輛和公共交通服務的優先考慮。我們相信降低巴士服務的收費將提高其運營效率，並最終使巴士乘客受益。這一舉措還為應對北部都會區人口日益增長帶來的交通需求提供了新的機會。
