Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.       what are the parameters used by the Ministry to determine the implementation timeline of distance-based charging under ERP 2.0; and

b.       whether the Ministry will give periodic public updates on how close these parameters are to being met.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.           The Ministry of Transport does not intend to implement distance-based charging in the immediate term. Our priority is to ensure motorists have time to get used to the new ERP 2.0 system.

2.           Usage-based charging is in principle a fair approach. We will need to study the impact on groups such as those who drive as part of their work and would likely pay higher usage-based charges as they drive longer distances. Should we decide to pursue distance-based charging in future, we will provide adequate notice.
