The Transport Advisory Committee supports the proposed assessment system for the provision of hillside escalator links and elevator systems.
Speaking at the committee's meeting today, the body's chairman Teresa Cheng said the system will help ensure individual proposals can be assessed in an open and fair manner.
Twenty proposals have been assessed using the system. The Government will conduct feasibility studies on the top ranked proposals in the assessment. The number of proposals taken forward will depend on the availability of resources.
The committee also discussed the effectiveness of the Road Traffic (Driving-offence Points) (Amendment) Ordinance 2009 which came into effect last May to tackle the circumvention problem in the service of summonses under the driving-offence points system.
"It is encouraging to note the new 'deemed-served' arrangements has proved to be highly effective in bringing the drivers who have accumulated 15 or more driving-offence points and attempted to avoid summons before the court for disqualification hearings," Ms Cheng said.
