This is a part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation integration project which covers the aviation, port, expressway and other fields.
A staff at the transportation authority in Tianjin said related departments in the three areas will conduct more cooperations to ensure the integration of expressway network, service and information. The integration of the transportation card is a part of the service integration project.
