新加坡365JT交通白皮书摘要
Sustainable Development As A Strategic Objective
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) recognises the social, environmental and
economic principles of sustainable development as a strategic objective. In its
1996 White Paper “A World Class Land Transport System”, the Authority had
already set out its vision to have a transport system that “meets the needs and
demands of a dynamic growing city with a population that will increasingly
expect high standards in service and infrastructure.” The White Paper also
stated that the overall system “must provide high quality service, is convenient,
accessible, comfortable, safe, speedy and affordable to the majority of
Singaporeans.”
The cornerstone of LTA’s land transport strategy is providing an attractive
public transport system. Measures to manage demand for private transport
through ownership and usage restraint are also used to ensure sustainable
mobility into the long term. LTA also believes that transport planning should
be integrated with land use planning for a sustainable outcome, and hence
works with planning agencies to develop integrated land use and transport
plans.
We are also committed to keeping our roads safe and the air clean. We do this
by working with agencies such as the Ministry of the Environment and Water
Resources (MEWR) and the Traffic Police on regular reviews of vehicle
standards, public education and enforcement programmes.
Reporting Systems For The Implementation Of Sustainable Development
Principles
Economic and Social
The White Paper’s financing framework is based on the principles that fares
have to be realistic and revised periodically to account for justifiable cost
increases, operating costs must be recovered, and that we need a sustainable
policy on asset replacement.
In order to achieve the above outcome, it was determined that operating
revenue for public transport operators had to cover operating costs and provide
adequate returns for operators so that the latter can afford to reinvest in the
system to maintain acceptable service level. Increases in public transport fares
are scrutinised by the Public Transport Council which has to balance between
2
the need to ensure that fares remain affordable to the public and operations are
commercially viable in the long term.
Rail infrastructure projects are implemented only if they are considered viable
in terms of financing, ridership as well as realistic and affordable fares. This
ensures that our land transport system remains economically and socially
sustainable.
Environment
LTA has adopted a corporate Environmental Policy Statement which commits
to protecting the environment. LTA also incorporates environmental protection
in our strategic decisions and conduct our business in a manner that balances
environmental and economic needs of the communities in which we operate.
The growth in car population and the level of traffic congestion in Singapore
are therefore carefully managed with a combination of ownership and usage
restraint measures.
LTA ensures that all vehicles in Singapore comply with rules, regulations and
technical requirements to ensure that these are built to acceptable international
standards and are safe for use on the roads. LTA also enforces exhaust
emission standards for all vehicles by requiring regular inspections.
Rebates are given to encourage the use of green vehicles by narrowing the cost
difference between such vehicles and conventional vehicles. Tax incentives
were also granted for the registration of diesel vehicles compliant with Euro IV
emission standards between 1 June 2004 and 30 September 2006. |
