Relieving traffic congestion : the Singapore area license scheme

Abstract

This paper reports the results of the research program carried out by the World Bank to identify and measure the effects of Singapore's Area License Scheme on the transport system in particular and the urban system in general. The specific areas dealt with are: traffic performance, travel behavior, the business community, conditions for pedestrians, air pollution, and public opinion and attitudes. Under each category, the research methods are described and the results presented. In addition, the paper investigates the potential for developing similar license schemes for other cities and sets out the available options and variations, the decisions to be taken, and the prerequisites for successful implementation.
