In April 2026， General Secretary Xi Jinping replied in a letter to all faculty and students of the four Jiaotong universities， charting the course for the 130-year-old Jiaotong Universities to serve national development. Standing at the historical threshold of its 130th anniversary， the School of Traffic and Transportation， Beijing Jiaotong University， will take the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s reply letter as the fundamental guideline for the disciplinary construction and development of its transportation studies. Closely following the strategic deployment of “One Network and Four Modernizations”， the school will firmly pursue an innovative development path featuring prominent railway strengths alongside coordinated road traffic and multi-modal transport. Focusing on cutting-edge railway technologies， it will conduct sustained research in intelligent railway transport organization， intelligent operation and maintenance of high-speed railway infrastructure， improvement of railway safety resilience， and digital-intelligent governance of road traffic， building an innovation hub for digital and intelligent rail transit development. Rooted in its profound railway heritage， the school will deepen industry-education integration to cultivate interdisciplinary and top-notch innovative talents capable of shouldering the mission of building a transportation powerhouse， thereby contributing solid wisdom and strength to accelerating the construction of China’s transportation powerhouse.
