Study on Staggered School Commencement Times to Ease Congestion Around Schools

10 Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Transport whether the Ministry has studied if staggered school commencement times, with students at different levels starting at different times, can ease congestion around schools, especially during the morning rush hour.

Mr S Iswaran: The impact of school commencement times on traffic varies depending on location and the specific school in question. Hence, LTA takes a case-by-case approach when working with MOE and schools to manage the impact of schools on surrounding traffic.
