(Central News Agency reporter Hao Hsueh-ching, Taichung, 12th) The 115th academic year Junior High School Education Comprehensive Assessment Program (CAP) will be held on May 16th and 17th. Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen announced today that the "Junior High School Exam Shuttle" will continue to be provided, and this year the subsidy amount has been increased to assist schools in dispatching high-quality vehicles to transport candidates to and from the examination venues.
The Taichung City Government held a municipal meeting today, where Lu Shiow-yen stated that the CAP is an important milestone for students. To alleviate the burden on parents and reduce traffic congestion around examination venues, the city government continues to promote the "Junior High School Exam Shuttle," allowing candidates to travel to and from the venues with peace of mind.
Lu Shiow-yen explained that the Central Taiwan examination area is the second largest examination area in the country, with over 28,000 candidates. The city government continues to promote the "Junior High School Exam Shuttle," which not only significantly reduces traffic flow around examination venues but also allows classmates to ride together, providing a supportive effect that stabilizes their minds and encourages each other.
Lu Shiow-yen stated that dozens of schools have applied this year, and it is estimated that over 300 vehicle trips will be dispatched to transport over 6,000 students. Considering the rising cost of vehicle rentals in recent years, the city government has increased the subsidy amount for the shuttle service to ensure smooth vehicle dispatch and provide students with safe and comfortable shuttle services.
Lu Shiow-yen called on citizens to slow down, reduce noise, and cooperate with on-site personnel guidance when passing by examination venues on weekends, to provide students with a quiet examination environment and jointly create a high-quality examination environment.
In addition, Lu Shiow-yen mentioned that the city government has launched the "Taichung NO Rat Plan," with 9 bureaus and departments promoting 13 prevention measures. As the symptoms of Hantavirus syndrome resemble a common cold, vigilance needs to be raised to strengthen identification. The Environmental Protection Bureau and other units have already commenced environmental cleaning and disinfection operations in markets, commercial districts, and other areas.
To thoroughly cut off the rat infestation transmission chain, Lu Shiow-yen pointed out that a city-wide "Grand Cleaning" activity for clean homes will be launched on the morning of May 16th. Since rats have the characteristic of fleeing, localized cleaning may cause them to relocate. Therefore, all villages and environmental volunteer teams across the city are called upon to simultaneously carry out a comprehensive cleaning and disinfection at the same time on the same day.
Lu Shiow-yen stated that Taichung City has also pioneered a guide for environmental cleaning to prevent rat infestations, promoting the 'three no' principles for rat prevention and safe cleaning SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). It is hoped that through public-private cooperation across the city, Taichung will continue to maintain its excellent public health record of zero confirmed cases of Hantavirus syndrome.
