On June 15, the Ministry of Transport issued a notice and decided to conduct a major safety inspection in the national transportation system from June to the end of September. The big inspection will cover all areas, all units and enterprises of the transportation system, and "zero tolerance" to the problems identified.

The focus of this inspection includes road safety projects, road passenger transport, urban public transport and rail transit, floating passengers (rolling) transport, water and sand transportation, etc. The inspection includes nine items such as the implementation of the responsibility for safety production. From June to the end of July, it is a comprehensive self-examination stage. From early to mid-August, it is a professional inspection stage. From late August to early September, it is a comprehensive inspection stage. From mid-September to late-September, it is a summary reporting stage.

The notice requires that all departments and units should list out the problems and hidden dangers that have been detected, and “zero tolerance” for the problems identified, timely rectify and clarify the rectification measures, time for rectification, and rectification responsibilities. For major hidden troubles and outstanding issues, supervision must be carried out and follow-up inspections must be strengthened. For problems and hidden dangers that are universal, symptomatic, and prone, we must promptly study countermeasures, put forward rectification measures, and fundamentally solve the problems. If the rectification of the hidden trouble is not in place or the accident is caused by ineffective work, an investigation shall be carried out and the responsibility of the responsible person shall be strictly investigated. The transport enterprises that have not timely regulated and rectified major safety hazards shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification.
