For example, according to the travel needs of migrant workers returning to their hometowns, Sichuan Province adopts a "point-to-point, one-stop" chartered transportation mode to achieve from factory door to home. A total of 1,560 interprovincial "Spring Wind Action" vehicles were launched in the province, and 56,000 migrant workers were transported to return home safely and orderly for the New Year.

Guide all localities to supervise and urge passenger transport and passenger terminal operators to carry out ventilation and disinfection in accordance with regulations, strictly check passenger health codes, carry out body temperature detection, remind passengers to wear masks throughout the process, and implement requirements such as "one-meter line". Optimize ticketing organizations, actively expand online ticketing channels, and encourage the use of non-contact methods such as face recognition for inbound verification. Implement requirements such as controlling the load factor of transportation vehicles and setting up isolation areas in accordance with regulations.

　　The third is to strictly implement passenger transport control in medium- and high-risk areas. Guide epidemic-related areas to promptly close road passenger transport services in and out of districts and counties in and out of medium- and high-risk areas; for urban transportation and road passenger transport operating inside epidemic-related areas, adopt epidemic prevention and control measures to strengthen the elimination of depots, vehicles and personnel protection, and make every effort to prevent the spillover and spread of the epidemic.

　　The fourth is to strengthen the protection of front-line service guarantee personnel for the Spring Festival. Guide local transportation departments, under the leadership of local epidemic prevention and control leading agencies, to implement the requirements of "due diligence" for front-line service guarantee personnel during the Spring Festival, strengthen daily health monitoring of front-line personnel, carry out nucleic acid testing on a regular basis in accordance with regulations, and actively carry out vaccines to strengthen immunization. At the same time, we will guide all localities to supervise and urge transport operation and management units to effectively prepare epidemic prevention materials to ensure that the materials are sufficient and effective.
