Abstract：

To　solve　the　air　pollution　problem　and　to　achieve　an　environment-friendly　urban　transport　system,　Beijing　has　taken　great　efforts　to　control　vehicle　emissions,　to　develop　public　transportation　system　with　priority,　to　explore　and　extend　the　application　of　new　energy　vehicles,　etc.　The　2008　Olympic　Games　in　Beijing　is　a　milestone　and　also　a　demonstration　site　for　all　these　works,　especially　for　the　new　energy　vehicles.　This　paper　gives　an　introduction　of　these　practices　in　Beijing.　However,　it　describes　few　on　bicycles,　walking　and　other　measures　existing　now　in　Beijing　because　they　are　in　steadily　developing　trends,　not　so　sparkling　as　the　public　transport　and　new　energy　vehicles　in　the　past　about　10　to　20　years.
