Commuters interested in suggesting ways to improve transport and mobility in Singapore can do so, as the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has launched a nationwide public consultation exercise to refresh its Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP).

Announced by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow at the Caring Commuter Week 2025 launch event at Our Tampines Hub on Nov 15, the engagement exercise will run over a 12-month period.

Calling it LTA’s largest outreach exercise to date, Mr Siow said he hopes that more Singaporeans will feel a sense of ownership and work with the LTA as partners to shape the future of transport.

Slated for release in 2027, the refreshed LTMP will build on the goals of LTMP 2040 while responding to an ageing population and changing travel patterns.

An LTA spokeswoman said it is not a deviation from LTMP 2040, but a refresh to “keep the long-term vision aligned with today’s realities to remain future ready, people-centred and sustainable”.

The LTA said engagement sessions will focus on reviewing priorities in the light of emerging needs, including new developments located farther from existing transport nodes.
