Gov't to roll out initiatives enhancing last-mile delivery

An e-guide will be developed to enhance safe practices amongst delivery personnel.

The government will introduce new measures to enhance last-mile deliveries and minimise disamenities caused by delivery pick-ups and drop-offs.

In line with this, the Land Transport Authority (LTA), along with the Digital Platforms Industry Association, Workplace Safety and Health Council and National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA), will develop an e-guide to enhance safe practices amongst delivery personnel.

The e-guide will recommend safe practices for riders, covering device purchasing considerations, riding rules, path and road-sharing etiquette, and proper parking.

Additionally, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and LTA are developing a Design and Operations Guide for Last-mile Deliveries to encourage more delivery-friendly features in private developments. For instance, the guide may recommend appropriate locations and sizes for delivery waiting bays and collection locker provisions, and for building managers to streamline access.

NDCA, URA, and the Singapore Land Authority are also exploring listing delivery waiting bay locations on OneMap to simplify access for delivery personnel.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
