Key performance indicators for reducing road casualties

4 August 2026

Question:

Ms He Ting Ru: To ask the Senior Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs (a) whether the Ministry and the LTA have set key performance indicators for reducing road casualties; and (b) if so, what these indicators are and how they benchmark against international frameworks.

Answer:

Mr K Shanmugam, Senior Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs:

1. As set out in the oral reply to Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis on 6 November 2025, the Ministry’s approach towards road casualties is one of zero tolerance. Every fatality and injury is one too many. Rather than setting numerical key performance indicators and targets, which risks normalising a level of casualties as acceptable, the Ministry aims to reduce road casualties as far as possible.

2. That said, the Ministry does track statistics including traffic injuries and fatalities, to assess how road safety is trending over time and to inform our policies.
