We focus on the following six aspects: 1) pooling the wisdom and efforts of everyone to step up project construction；2) improving quality and efficiency to strengthen the service of people's livelihood；3) emancipating the thoughts to push forward the transportation transformation and upgrading of transportation; 4) addressing both symptom and root causes to advance security work; 5) taking more measures simultaneously to fuel the law-based governance over transportation; 6) strengthening the foundation to promote duty performance and responsibility fulfillment.
At the same time Ma stressed that the whole transportation system must follow the supreme requirement of comprehensively strengthening Party discipline. First, the main body responsibility of comprehensively strengthening Party discipline should be strengthened. Second, accountability list should be completed to promote duty fulfillment. Third, the Accountability Act of Chinese Communist Party should be conscientiously implemented. Fourth, we should promptly get used to the reform of the?discipline inspection and supervision regime.
