Taipei City Government established a cross-agency task force in January 2023 to address traffic congestion in the Neihu Technology Park area. The city has promoted reforms through three major strategies: traffic engineering improvements, expanded public transport services, and ESG-based commuting initiatives in partnership with the Neihu Technology Park Association. As of November this year, average travel time on major roads in the area during afternoon peak hours has improved by approximately 6.4 percent compared with 2022.

Traffic Engineering Measures Reduce Congestion

A new intersection opened in October 2024 at Tiding Boulevard and Lane 358, Ruiguang Road. The project reduced vehicle queues exiting the freeway toward Neihu and improved traffic flow on surrounding surface roads. Travel time on Tiding Boulevard northbound decreased by 24.93 percent, while northbound traffic on Jiuzong Road saw a 9.82 percent reduction. In July 2025, a new northbound freeway access ramp near Tiding Interchange also opened, allowing vehicles to connect directly to the freeway instead of detouring past the Yangguang Pumping Station. Peak-hour testing shows travel time savings of about five minutes during evening commutes.

Public Transport Services Expanded

City authorities have worked to improve convenience and encourage greater use of public transportation. Since 2023, service frequency on the Wenhu MRT Line has increased, trains have been upgraded, and several new bus services have launched, including express routes, the North Circular Trunk Line, Neihu–Nangang Software Park shuttle buses, and the East Circular Trunk Line. Twelve additional Neihu commuter bus services have also been introduced.

ESG Initiatives Encourage Green Commuting

The city began working with the Neihu Technology Park Development Association in 2023 to promote ESG commuting solutions. Companies are encouraged to support green commuting, flexible working hours, and remote work arrangements. This year, the city also launched a commuting transition program during construction of the MRT East Circular Line, helping businesses adjust commuting patterns. A pilot Green Commuting Day showed clear results, with traffic on Ruiguang Road dropping around 20 percent during morning peak hours and about 10 percent in the afternoon compared with last year. The program will continue expanding.

MRT Development Supports Long-Term Improvement

Traffic conditions in Neihu have already shown improvement, while future progress will continue through construction of the MRT East Circular Line and the Minxi Line. City authorities encourage residents to make greater use of MRT and bus services to further improve transportation conditions in Neihu.
