Back to November of 2013, Beijing Motor Vehicle Remission Pollution Control Plan 2013-2017 went public.

As for the concept of central low-remission area, Beijing CPPCC once suggested to motivate motor vehicle’s access. In central area and corridor connecting external and central areas, low-remission area should be set up and severe policies in low-remission areas should be implemented by regional control, congestion fee and pollution remission fee.
In addition, Beijing would improve BRT system of huge capacity in Anli Road, build fast commuting corridor in Southwestern Third Ring Road and Beijing-Kaifeng Highway and push bus-only lane construction in Beijing-Tibet Highway and Fourth Ring Road. Meanwhile, reversible lanes in Chaoyang Road would be extended and reversible lanes of roads in Zizhuyuan would be accelerated to be completed.
