Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Public Feedback on Irresponsible Active Mobility Device Riding Behaviours and Enforcement Actions Taken

Mr Cai Yinzhou asked the Acting Minister for Transport 

a.     how many cases of public feedback has the LTA received regarding irresponsible public riding behaviours; and 

b.     out of these feedback cases, how many have led to (i) enforcement actions against reported riders and (ii) seizure of Active Mobility Devices involved.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.     The Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforces based on data from LTA closed-circuit televisions, intelligence from enforcement officers, and feedback received. 

From 2022 to 2024, LTA received over 1,800 pieces of public feedback on irresponsible riding behaviours. The feedback provided useful information which LTA could act on, to enforce against unsafe riding and use of non-compliant devices.

Over the same period, enforcement officers took action against more than 100 riders for offences involving irresponsible riding behaviours such as speeding on public paths. LTA also seized more than 3,000 active mobility devices involved in offences such as riding non-compliant devices on public paths.

Nonetheless, we recognise that most riders ride safely and responsibly today, and will continue to encourage such riding practices through our public education and outreach efforts. On the ground, enforcement officers also engage and educate path users on proper path etiquette.
