This paper reviews the ideas and the paths of higher quality integrated development of transportation in the Yangtze River Delta, to provide some food for thought with respect to the construction of transportation power pilot sites, in the following six aspects: the facility network, the hub efficiency, the transportation service, the scientific and technological innovation, the transportation and production integration, and the governance capacity, as well as the achievements of transportation integration. For the development orientation of building world-class urban agglomerations, the integration of transportation with higher quality is faced with various outstanding problems, such as the unbalanced development between modes and regions, the insufficient interconnection of facilities, the insufficient international competitiveness of hubs, and the imperfect cooperative governance system. In view of the new trend and requirements of future development, the paper highlights the general idea of the transportation integration. It is suggested to focus on the target positioning, the realization path of the transportation integration with higher quality, with a deep interconnection of the line network, the improvement of the hub energy level, the seamless connection of transportation, the innovative wisdom guidance, and the coordination linkage mechanism.
