The Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry has set 27 assessment criteria aimed at improving public works projects, ministry officials said Wednesday.
The criteria emphasize the promotion of pollution-free vehicles, infrastructure for foreign visitors to Japan and the international air transport of goods, the officials said.
The ministry will hear the comments of a third-party panel next week before officially deciding on the criteria.
