Impact of Move to Issue Additional COEs on Car-lite Ambitions and on Switch to Distance-based Road Charges

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Transport (a) what is the anticipated impact of planned increase of 20,000 additional COEs on Singapore’s "car-lite" ambitions; and (b) whether the Ministry expects the plans to result in increased adoption of private car use for transport.

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Transport what are the specific parameters which the Ministry will take into consideration in deciding when to start distance-based charges under the ERP 2.0 system in view of the additional 20,000 COEs to be injected into the vehicle population in Singapore.
