Singapore’s Land Transport System

A land transport system that is smarter, safer, more responsive and optimised to meet demand.

To support Singapore’s future growth and meet commuter expectations, we harness emerging technology in tandem with developing the land transport workforce and ecosystem. Industry partners and individuals who have played important roles in developing the land transport system are also recognised through the Land Transport Excellence Awards.

This makes for a forward-looking, sustainable and more reliable system for smoother, more comfortable and seamless journeys.

Learn about the various technologies LTA uses to deliver a land transport system that is safe, efficient, reliable and comfortable for commuters and motorists.

Autonomous Vehicles

Set to transform land transport in Singapore, Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology will open up new mobility options for commuters and allow goods delivery and utility operations such as road sweeping to be done more efficiently. Additionally, it will create new job opportunities in the land transport industry. AVs will be an important part of Singapore’s Smart Mobility solutions, improving our public transport commute in Singapore’s journey to becoming a Smart Nation.

Why AVs?

	Less Accidents due to Human Errors AVs have high fidelity sensors as their ‘eyes’ and ‘ears’ to sense their surroundings and enable them to navigate strictly according to traffic rules. They are expected to drive safer and be more alert than a human driver.
	Optimal Use of Road Space AVs will allow better utilisation of available road space by optimising routing through intelligent algorithmic planning, and enabling more logistic transportation and utility operations to be performed during off-peak hours such as at night.
	Creation of New Job Roles The introduction of AVs will create new job roles such as remote fleet controllers, technicians, engineers and data scientists.

Electric Vehicles

Singapore aims to develop a greener and more sustainable land transport sector, reducing peak land transport emissions by 80%, by or around mid-century. The Singapore Green Plan 2030 includes a strong push to electrify our vehicle population, which would help Singapore achieve our vision of 100% cleaner energy vehicles by 2040.

To support this, we have launched a new campaign to raise awareness of Electric Vehicles (EVs), their benefits to owners and the environment, as well as how we can all contribute towards the responsible and gracious sharing of charging infrastructure.

As we accelerate EV adoption for a more sustainable land transport system, read about LTA’s EV vision for Singapore, our charger deployment plans and other relevant information below.
