Land Transport Authority(LTA)
Updated: Monday, February 18, 2008
The Land Transport Authority’s origin was signified by the introduction of the Transport Control Board (TCB) in 1955. The objectives of the TCB were to control, regulate and administer road service licenses to operate bus services. This marked the beginning of road public service that consisted of a Chairman and four members who are appointed by the Governor.
Then officially, 33 years later, the Land Transport Authority was established under the Land Transport Act 1998 under section 6(2) "A body corporate". The LTA Regulation 2000 came into effect on 10th July 2000.
The LTA was created to improve financial management and operation efficiency through effective management systems and improved incentives for human resources
The Land Transport Authority’s core functions are:
- Establishment standards for registration and licensing of vehicles and drivers
- Develop and implement effective and efficient enforcement strategies consistent with road safety and protection of the environment.
- Develop traffic management strategies in conjunction with relevant authorities
- Develop and improve customer service levels in all areas of operations
- Ensure equitable and affordable fare schedule for all Public Service Vehicles.
