The role of the Transport Advisory Committee is to advise the Chief Executive in Council on broad issues of transport policy and major transport-related proposals to facilitate the continuous development of Hong Kong. The Committee comprises a chairman and 17 members including three Government officials. The Committee also supervises the operation of the Transport Complaints Unit, which is responsible for receiving and handling complaints and suggestions from the public on transport and traffic matters.
The Committee holds regular meetings. Some of the major issues considered by the Committee in 2016 included a number of topical studies under the Public Transport Strategy Study, new franchises for the bus network of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited, review of the Fare Adjustment Mechanism of MTR Corporation Limited and taxi fare increase application. The Committee recommended a host of short, medium and long-term measures in December 2014 to alleviate road traffic congestion. In 2016, the Government continued to take forward the recommended measures progressively.
