(NLĐO) - Ho Chi Minh City has launched the 2025 Traffic Safety Year with the theme "Safe Journey, Building the Future".
On the morning of January 10th, the Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Safety Committee held a ceremony to launch the 2025 Traffic Safety Year campaign with the theme "Safe Journey, Building the Future".
Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong speaks at the launching ceremony.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong emphasized the importance of implementing the directives of the Prime Minister and the National Traffic Safety Committee on the tasks of ensuring traffic order and safety in 2025, as well as the peak period of ensuring traffic safety during the Lunar New Year and Spring Festivals of 2025.
In 2024, Ho Chi Minh City achieved many important results thanks to its focus on implementing Directive 23 of the Party Central Committee, Directive 10 of the Prime Minister, and Resolution 48 of the Government. The city also intensified the enforcement of the Law on Prevention and Control of the Harmful Effects of Alcohol and Beer, and implemented many comprehensive solutions to raise public awareness of traffic law compliance.
A series of key transportation projects such as Metro Line 1, Tran Quoc Hoan underpass, Nguyen Van Linh underpass, and Phuoc Long bridge have been completed and put into operation, contributing to reducing traffic congestion and accidents. In 2024, traffic accidents in the city decreased significantly in all three criteria: number of incidents, number of deaths, and number of injuries, with a reduction rate of over 15% compared to 2023.
Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Bui Xuan Cuong, highly appreciated the efforts of departments, agencies, mass organizations, local authorities, and the people of the city in ensuring traffic order and safety. He also emphasized that 2025 is a crucial period for achieving the socio -economic development goals for the 2021-2025 period. The city will focus on developing transportation infrastructure, reducing congestion and accidents, developing inter-regional transportation, exploiting waterway transportation, and expanding the urban railway system.
The launching ceremony for the 2025 Traffic Safety Year, themed "A Safe Journey, Building the Future," aims to enhance the effectiveness of state management, improve traffic law compliance among road users, and especially highlight the role of students, youth union members, and young people in building a traffic culture. The city is determined to reduce traffic accidents, prolonged congestion, and negative phenomena such as illegal taxis and unauthorized bus stops, while ensuring that city residents, domestic and international tourists can enjoy the Lunar New Year 2025 and participate in Spring Festival activities with the spirit of "Tet (Lunar New Year) for everyone, every home."
Lieutenant Colonel Tran Trung Hieu, Head of the Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police, representing the law enforcement force, affirmed that the decisive direction from leaders at all levels has brought about positive changes in curbing accidents and ensuring traffic order.
However, he also noted that traffic conditions during the Lunar New Year (Year of the Snake) and other festivals in early 2025 could become complicated, with a sudden increase in the volume of people and vehicles, requiring greater efforts in controlling traffic safety and order.
