More money will be given to help workplaces build facilities like showers and changing rooms to encourage people to walk, run or cycle to work, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Saturday (Nov 2).
The authority’s new Active Commute Grant, aimed at promoting active mobility, will provide a subsidy of up to 80 per cent of construction costs for end-of-trip features in more workplaces.
These facilities include showers, lockers, changing rooms and signs directing employees to these amenities. Grants are capped at $80,000 per development.
Replacing the earlier Travel Smart Grant, which was launched in 2017, the new grant is set to make it easier for more people to freshen up after choosing the healthier – and greener – way of starting their days at work.
An LTA spokesman said it had received 13 applications under the Travel Smart Grant scheme, and that it is evaluating these claims.
