Land Transport Master Plan 2040

Posted:04/23/2026Last Modified:04/24/2026

Project Description:

LTMP 2040 charts out the long-term vision, policies and targets that shape our land transport system to 2040, and possibly beyond. Together, we can look forward to:

1. A transport network that is convenient, well-connected and fast;

2. A transport ecosystem characterised by gracious behaviour and inclusive infrastructure; and

3. A transport environment that supports healthy lives and enables safer journeys.

LTMP 2040 is a shared journey and experience. During the course of developing LTMP2040, over 7,400 Singaporeans shared their views and aspirations for our land transport system. The LTMP Advisory Panel considered your valuable inputs in making their recommendations to refresh our vision, policies and targets. 

As we implement LTMP 2040, there will be challenges to overcome. We will keep open multiple channels for you to reach out to us, to provide feedback or share ideas. We encourage community and industry stakeholders to partner us to deliver fresh and innovative solutions.

Appendix

Facility Efficiency - This includes projects that reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and/or decrease overall environmental impact of transit facilities, including maintenance facilities, transit stations, offices, buildings, etc.

Vehicle Efficiency - This includes projects that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of transit vehicles. This may include the use of alternative fuels, as well as improvements in fleet logistics leading to more efficient scheduling and route optimization, and other enhancements.

Renewable Energy - This includes a wide range of renewable technologies, such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc., that provide off-the-grid power generation from renewable sources. While these technologies typically apply to improvements to transit facilities, this could also include vehicle improvements (e.g. solar panels on roof or rail cars, etc.).

Fixed Guideway/Rail - This includes any project that provides a dedicated guideway for (exclusive or shared) operation of transit vehicles. Both rail and bus projects may fall in this category.

Fuel Cell - This includes transit projects involving the conversion of chemical energy from a fuel (typically, hydrogen) into electricity through a chemical reaction with an oxidizing agent (typically, oxygen) and using that energy for vehicle propulsion or stationary uses. This covers both fuel cell vehicles and stationary fuel cell installations.

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) - Projects involving land development strategies that maximize access to public transportation, encourage transit ridership, and enable higher density mixed-use development, leading to reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - Projects that make use of information and communication technologies to improve transit safety, travel reliability, environmental performance, and network operation resilience, or/and to enable informed travel choices, promote social equity, or provide other transportation benefits.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - This includes a variety of public transportation projects involving the provision of highly reliable, fast, and more efficient bus service, compared to ordinary bus line. BRT projects can range from traffic signal prioritization, provided to public transportation vehicles, to dedicated lanes used exclusively by transit buses.

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) - This includes a variety of projects that use innovative transportation strategies and policies to reduce travel demand or to redistribute it in space or time. This may include projects involving various ride-sharing programs, such as carpooling or vanpooling, and policies that redistribute trips away from peak times, as well as congestion pricing, and other capacity management strategies.

Pedestrian/Bicycle and Other Non-motorized Facilities - Projects involving improvements in facilities used for non-motorized transport, leading to higher accessibility and usage of non-motorized modes of transportation. This may include pedestrian sidewalks, bike lanes, and other improvements.

Other Transit Service Enhancements - Projects that do not fit into any of the above categories.
