Beijing families to get a fairer shot in car plate lottery
The city of Beijing will adjust its lottery for vehicle license plates to give more chances to families that don't own any cars, a move aimed at allocating the quota more reasonably and fairly. The municipal government announced the new policy on Monday to garner public opinion, saying that it plans to give out 20,000 new energy vehicle license plates in August to family applicants that don't own cars. In addition, starting next year, families that own no cars in Beijing can apply for a license plate in the lottery together with individual applicants. The family applicants will have a much better chance at getting a car plate than individual ones.
北京家庭摇号将获得更公平的中签机会
北京市将调整小客车指标摇号政策，向无车家庭倾斜中签机会，以此更加合理、公平地分配指标额度。
北京市政府于周一发布新政并面向社会公开征求意见，计划在 8 月向无车家庭申请人投放 2 万个新能源小客车指标。
此外，自明年起，本市无车家庭可和个人申请人一同参与指标摇号，家庭申请人的中签概率将远高于个人申请人。
However, there are some caveats for family applicants. All family members should agree to apply for a car plate, and once they get one, they cannot apply for another plate for 10 years. Even though it has crushed the dreams of many couples who want to own two cars, the new policy was still warmly welcomed by the public. Li Wen, a local Beijinger who has participated in Beijing's car license plate lottery for five years and still hasn't got one, said she was so glad to hear the news. "The odds became so slim for me to get a car license, but I need a car so much since I have a 4-year-old son and a mother who has eye disease," she said. "I wish I had a car to drive my son to his kindergarten every day and take my mother to the hospital to get checked from time to time. It can be really frustrating when you have to wait for a bus in the rain or in other bad weather." The chances of getting a new car registration in Beijing reached a record low in the lottery in April. According to data from the capital's transport commission, the government gave out 6,366 licenses in this lottery, which meant the chance was 1 in 2,898.
不过家庭申请设有相应限制条件：所有家庭成员须一致同意共同申请指标；成功中签后，该家庭 10 年内不得再次申请小客车指标。
尽管这项政策让不少打算购置第二辆车的家庭愿望落空，但新政依然受到民众广泛欢迎。
北京市民李文已经参与小客车摇号五年，至今未能中签。她表示听到这个消息十分开心。 “我个人摇号中签概率太低了，但我真的很需要一辆车：我有一个 4 岁的儿子，还有患眼病的母亲。” 她说。 “我希望能每天开车送孩子上幼儿园，也能经常带母亲去医院复查。下雨天或者恶劣天气里等公交，实在让人难熬。”
当年 4 月北京小客车摇号的中签率创下历史新低。 北京市交通委员会数据显示，该期摇号仅放出 6366 个普通小客车指标，中签比例低至 1/2898。
The capital introduced an annual quota for new car registrations in 2011 to ease traffic congestion and combat smog. Applicants can get plates for conventional cars by entering a draw, while the distribution of new energy car plates are on a first-come, first-served basis. This year, the city government will give 40,000 new conventional car plates and 60,000 new energy car plates. Rong Jun, spokesman for the commission, said during a previous interview that the lottery policy was far from perfect, but it was needed under the circumstances and would be adjusted as conditions change. As the number of applicants increases, some families haven't been able to get a car for years while other families have several cars, which has led to illegal behavior such as renting car plates.
北京自 2011 年开始实施小客车年度指标配额管理，用于缓解交通拥堵、治理雾霾。 普通小客车指标通过摇号方式分配，新能源小客车指标按照排队轮候、先到先得的规则发放。
本年度，北京计划投放 4 万个普通小客车指标、6 万个新能源小客车指标。
市交通委发言人荣军在此前采访中提到，摇号政策尚有不完善之处，但在当前形势下具备实施必要性，后续会根据形势变化持续调整。
随着申请人数量不断增加，一部分家庭多年摇不到指标，另一些家庭名下却拥有多辆车，由此催生了租车牌等违规行为。
