Singapore Launches Land Transport Innovation Fund

Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced an USD18.8 million Land Transport Innovation Fund over five years to support research and trials in pioneering mobility solutions for the city state.

The LTA is exploring the use of automation and autonomous vehicles (AVs) to improve efficiency, reduce human error and deliver better services, according to a statement released on 12 February. “Autonomous buses and dynamically-routed, on-demand shuttles can also be deployed to enhance public transport by providing more responsive, efficient and convenient transport modes for commuters,” the statement said, adding that robots and drones could also be used to inspect MRT and road tunnels.

“With the Land Transport Innovation Fund, I hope to see even more innovative solutions emerge to shape the transport of tomorrow,” LTA’s Chief Executive Ngien Hoon Ping said.

Approximately 123,000 people work in the land transport industry in Singapore serving 5 million daily commutes on public transport.
