Department of Transportation

In recent years, the number of enterprises entering the Neihu Technology Park has gradually increased, and the resulting traffic and commuting problems are also growing day by day. With the orientation of developing mass-transit systems as its strategy, the Taipei City Government Department of Transportation has planned for the MRT Wenshan-Neihu Line and connecting shuttle buses, using a variety of channels to promote various transfer facilities and schemes, dispersing traffic and reducing the use of personal transport, to provide comprehensive transport services to solve the traffic problems of Neihu Technology Park. Furthermore, in order to implement the use of additional parking spaces in the buildings within Neihu Technology Park and solve traffic and parking issues, the Construction Management Office of the Department of Urban Development, has carried out an inspection of the additional parking spaces in the buildings within Neihu Technology Park. The Department of Transportation also completed 2 separate general traffic examinations of Neihu Technology Park in 2005 and 2011, focusing on road bottlenecks, parking issues, public transport and taxi scheduling issues to review and propose improvement plans, in the hope that the traffic problems of Neihu Technology Park can be improved and to promote industrial development.

We established a cross-agency, prefecture-level project team to collaboratively address issues comprehensively on January 17, 2023. The implementation focuses on three major axes: "Clearing Intersections," "Increasing Public Transport Capacity to Reduce Automobile and Motorcycle Usage," and "Enhancing Traffic Improvement Projects to Ensure Smooth Traffic Flow." Initiatives include augmenting police presence to ensure intersection clearance, boosting public transportation capacity by adding 22 YouBike stations, implementing the National Freeway Bus 9005 optimization project, introducing express buses for the inner city, and establishing buses for the northern loop. We are also consistently advancing the construction of the MRT Eastern Ring Line and the Minxiong Line. Additionally, we have implemented 19 traffic engineering improvement measures, such as adjusting signal timings and eliminating motorcycle waiting zones, to enhance traffic conditions in Neihu.

Furthermore, we collaborate with the Taipei Neihu Technology Park Development Association to facilitate partnerships with businesses in promoting green commuting initiatives for employees. Together with corporate entities and their employees within the industrial park, we work collectively to improve transportation in the Neihu area.
