在西部开发中，交通基础设施由于是西部地区发展的“瓶颈”，因而应该成为重点建设项目。交通基础设施具有社会性、基础性，其提供的服务具有非竞争性和非排名性，政府应该承担其建设的重任。在政府对西部地区采取的转移支付制度中，交通基础设施建设是其支付的重点，政府应该有根据地制定合适的政策目标，运用恰当的转移支付类型，确定合理的转移支付规模。 In the development of the western region, the transportation infrastructure should become a key construction project because it is a “bottleneck” in the development of the western region. The transportation infrastructure is social and basic. Its services are non-competitive and non-ranked. The government should assume the important task of its construction. In the transfer payment system adopted by the government in the western region, the construction of transport infrastructure is the key point of its payment. The government should base its efforts on formulating appropriate policy objectives and using appropriate transfer payment types to determine the reasonable scale of transfer payments.
