On April 9, 2025, China’s Ministry of Transport announced new guidelines, the Management Measures for Pilot Work on Building a Leading Transport Nation (Transport Planning Office Document No. 22 [2025]).

The update follows the strategic directions outlined in two national plans issued in 2021 by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council—the Outline for Building a Leading Transport Nation and the National Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Transport Network Plan Outline.

Both documents emphasize the development of a transport platform economy, hub economy, corridor economy, and low-altitude economy.

The new Measures replace an earlier 2022 interim version and outline procedures across seven chapters and 50 articles. They cover the full process for pilot projects—from application and evaluation to implementation and promotion—including specialized pilot initiatives.
