Wu Dejin, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of transport, said at the press conference of the State Council's new office on December 27 that it is strictly prohibited to force the installation of etc by any means and to set obstacles for non etc vehicles to pass through the expressway. At the same time, he said that as of December 23, the total number of national etc customers had reached 197 million, a net increase of 120 million or 157% over the same period last year. According to it, promoting the promotion and issuance of etc is an important part of deepening the reform of toll road system and canceling toll stations within the provincial boundary of expressways, as well as an important condition for realizing fast toll collection without parking. In the process of issuance, some irregular behaviors have also taken place in some regions, such as occupying license plate information, compulsory installation, etc. for these irregular behaviors, the Ministry of transport has taken measures to urge and guide all regions to rectify and implement them seriously. He also talked about three specific measures: first, printing and distributing the emergency notice on further standardizing the issuance and service of etc, which requires all regions to firmly establish the people-centered development idea and intensify efforts in optimizing and improving services. It is required that it is strictly prohibited to force or disguise etc installation in any way. Second, during the issuance of etc, it is strictly prohibited to occupy the license plate. The Ministry of transport has urged all regions to immediately remove the occupation of license plate information and support the public to voluntarily apply for etc. The problems found in the complaint shall be removed by technical means to facilitate the public's voluntary installation. The third is to strengthen services. In the case of the whole network operation, etc has changed from the original provincial distribution and provincial management mode to the whole network operation mode. The Ministry of transport has set up a national etc customer service center to link with the provinces, and opened 95022 etc service supervision hotline to provide all-weather, multi-directional and efficient high-quality services for the public.
