Abstract:Singapore is now facing a challenge to meet the mobility needs of the residents and to improve its livability as its increasing population poses a new demand on urban and transportation development. To this end, the author proposes some policies and strategies to develop the nation's transportation systems in the next 10 to 15 years. Those policies and strategies shall be focused on three areas: first, giving priority to transit development through extension of the rail system and improvement of transit network integration; second, limiting vehicle ownership and usage by road pricing and the like; third, building barrier-free facilities as a means to accommodate travel demands for the disadvantaged, and providing assistance to low-income groups. The author also presents some on-going activities in Singapore, such as public participation and engagement, to promote human-friendly transportation systems.
