The government will seek to reduce the amount of pollution caused by the domestic long-distance cargo transportation system by shifting from trucks to trains and ships, according to a draft report obtained Wednesday.
Under a five-year transport system plan, the state seeks to boost the share of trains and coastal freighters by 7 percentage points to 50 percent by 2010, according to the report.
