The Land Transport Authority's Community Outreach Programme will give the public more say in transport matters as well as more timely information.

At a ceremony at the LTA's Hampshire Road headquarters, Mr Lim also unveiled the Land Transport Masterplan, a 101-page report documenting the sweeping transport reforms he announced in January.

Some 48,000 condensed versions of the report entitled How Do We Ensure A Liveable City? will be distributed to schools and grassroots groups and handed out at events.

'The Government cannot realise the improvements outlined in the masterplan on its own, no matter how much effort it puts into it,' Mr Lim said. 'Singaporeans must play their part to make these changes a success.

'It is therefore important for us to engage our communities and reach out to them as stakeholders.'

In the coming months, the LTA will hold a total of 14 meetings with grassroots leaders and advisors from the 84 constituencies here.

It is also lining up at least 10 public visits to project sites such as Circle Line MRT stations.

'Site visits are an especially important part of our community outreach,' Mr Lim said. 'Nothing demonstrates what is happening better.'
