Here
are the four projects from the Land Transport
Authority (LTA)
that won recognition.
one.motoring - gateway to all motoring
information
This portal is the result of a successful collaboration
between the public and private sectors. The portal
contains a wide array of information and services.
Besides obtaining information on LTA’s policies
and schemes, motorists can pay their traffic fines
and renew their road tax, among many other online
services. Hyperlinks to commercial services such
as finance houses, insurance companies and other
vehicle-related associations can also be found
at www.onemotoring.com.sg.
Open Bidding System for COE - levelling
the playing field
The Open Bidding System for the Certificate of
Entitlement (COE) promotes greater transparency
in the bidding process and provides users with
greater accessibility to its services. The system
enables motorists to make informed decisions when
placing their bids for the COE. By logging onto
www.gov.sg/lta/ocoe, motorists can submit their
bids, monitor the COE prices and revise their reserve
price for their bids.
traffic.smart - integrated traffic
information at your fingertips
This portal delivers real-time integrated traffic
information to enhance traffic flow on our roads.
It gathers real-time information from the various
Intelligent Transport Systems implemented by LTA,
such as the Expressway Monitoring and Advisory
System (EMAS), TrafficScan and the Electronic Road
Pricing (ERP) system. At http://traffic.smart.lta.gov.
sg,
motorists can check road conditions before embarking
on their journey so as to avoid congested roads
or major accidents.
ez-link Card system - the smart way
to travel
The Enhanced Integrated Fare System, better known
as the ez-link Card system, improves the efficiency
of the transport system. The ez-link Card is a
contactless smart card that has replaced the magnetic
farecard previously used in public transport services.
With the ez-link Card, commuters no longer need
to remember to pay the exact bus fare or insert
farecards into validators. This also means a reduction
in boarding time as well as the time buses stay
at bus-stops. The Card also has the capability
for other uses. To find out more, visit www.ezlink.com.sg.
