Activity
Active Mobility Studies

As part of the transport strategy to move towards a “car lite” Singapore, the government wants to encourage more sustainable mobility options such as walking and cycling. Beyond on-going measures by LTA and URA to improve public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure, there are other opportunities to create an environment which is conducive for pedestrians and cyclists.

SYSTRA to develop a cycling safety programme for the Land Transport Authority which includes a theory section as well as recommendations for practical circuit courses to test one’s ability on the bicycle (or PMD). Through the course of developing the syllabus, several focus groups such as students, migrant workers and the general public were invited to test and improve prototypes. Eventually, the course duration was shortened from half-day to a 90-minute session with online public resources made available. While the theory session is covered in the beginning, the practical section puts participants in a training circuit that simulates scenarios often encountered on the roads or on shared paths.
