It’s a wrap at the #TEL4PublicPreview today! A BIG #ThankYou 🙏🏼 to every one of you for joining us! 🤎

We hope you enjoyed exploring the #TEL4 stations and experiencing a taste (and colours!) of the #EastSideVibe🚆🏝️
 
#Reminder The 7️⃣ TEL4 stations will officially open for passenger service on 23 June 2024! 🚆

Over the past two weeks, our #ActiveMobility enforcement officers (#AMEOs) conducted a series of operations against errant active mobility users at various locations such as Boon Lay, Central Boulevard, Marine Parade, Punggol, Tanjong Rhu and Yishun.

A total of 30 offences were detected during these operations. These included the use of non-compliant devices (Personal Mobility Devices and Power-Assisted Bicycles) and riding of devices on wrong paths.

#Reminder Active mobility users should comply with all requirements on go.gov.sg/amrules when using their devices.

To ensure the safety of all path and road users, we will continue to enforce against errant active mobility users including those who use non-compliant devices. Non-compliant devices will be impounded immediately for safety reasons. #ProtectorOfPaths

#Reminder All new diesel car and taxi registrations will no longer be allowed from 1 Jan 2025. 🚫🚗

From 2030, these registrations must be of cleaner-energy models to support Singapore’s vision for all vehicles to run on cleaner energy by 2040. 🌱

Diesel cars registered before 1 Jan 2025 can renew their #COE, but will be subject to higher road taxes as a disincentive to discourage renewal.

#SGGreenPlan

Yesterday, we caught four drivers and impounded their Malaysian-registered vehicles for providing illegal cross-border chauffeured services between Singapore and Malaysia.

#PSA We take these offences very seriously and will not condone drivers providing such illegal services. For your safety, do avoid using these services as they are not only illegal, but may also lack adequate insurance coverage which poses a serious risk for passengers, should an accident occur.

#Reminder Drivers caught providing illegal hire-and-reward services, including cross-border trips without a valid Public Service Vehicle Licence (#PSVL), can be fined up to $3,000, imprisoned for up to six months, or both. Additionally, vehicles involved may also be forfeited.

Last month, our #AMEOs conducted a week-long operation targeting the use of unregistered and non-compliant active mobility devices in various locations such as Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Punggol, Woodlands and Yew Tee.

A total of 109 active mobility offences were detected. These included riding devices on wrong paths, non-compliant PAB number plates and riding without a mandatory theory test certificate.

In a separate operation, we acted against a retailer and impounded five non-compliant devices, four of which were personal mobility aid (PMA) lookalikes. LTA will continue to take firm action against errant retailers who supply non-compliant devices.

#Reminder: ⚠️ PMAs should only have one seat to support the user. Mobility scooters with more than one seat are classified as PMDs and must comply with the criteria for use on cycling paths. Do exercise caution and only purchase compliant active mobility devices for use on public paths and roads.

#OBU installation: Have you booked your appointment?

Over 250,000 vehicles have already installed their OBUs. We encourage motorists to book soon to get your preferred authorised workshop and timeslot.

#Reminder All owners of eligible Singapore-registered vehicles can book their OBU installation appointment directly with their workshop – just like scheduling a repair or service. There is no need to wait for an official notification. It is also possible to combine the OBU installation with other vehicle services to minimise the downtime.

Today, we caught 4 drivers and impounded their foreign-registered vehicles for providing illegal ride-hailing services within Singapore and to/from Malaysia.

⚠️🚗 #Reminder Avoid using illegal ride-hailing services. Lacking proper licencing and insurance, they pose serious risks to passengers, especially when accidents occur.

We will continue to take action against drivers who provide illegal hire-and-reward services, including cross-border trips without a valid Public Service Vehicle Licence (PSVL).

Offenders face up to $3,000 fine, six months imprisonment, or both. Their vehicles may also be forfeited.

⚠️ #Reminder Do not excessively tint vehicle windows as it impairs visibility and affects motorists’ safety.

Today, the sole proprietor of a workshop (“Stealth Film Workz Pte Ltd”) was convicted for illegally modifying vehicles to install non-compliant tinted films on windscreens and windows. He was charged under section 5(5) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 for three separate illegal installations between 2023 and 2024.

🚫 Workshops or motorists who illegally modify or use such vehicles can be fined up to $5,000, imprisoned up to 3 months, or both. The penalties for repeat offenders are doubled.

Following a public tip-off on 3 Feb 2025, our enforcement officers acted swiftly against a group of youths seen riding modified and non-compliant active mobility devices on Punggol roads.

Their ambush operations resulted in four non-compliant devices being impounded. ❌ #UpLorry

In 2024, we detected 132 instances of personal mobility devices (PMDs) being illegally used on roads.

#Reminder AM users should follow prevailing rules and regulations. First-time offenders face fines up to $2,000 and/or three months imprisonment. Non-compliant devices will also be impounded.
