LTA-UITP Singapore International Transport Congress and Exhibition (SITCE) 2013

The inaugural LTA-UITP Singapore International Transport Congress and Exhibition (SITCE) is jointly organised by Jointly organised by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA), International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and MSI Global Pte Ltd. It is an amalgamation of the World Urban Transport Leaders Summit (WUTLS), World Roads Conference (WRC) and World Urban Transit Conference (WUTC) that LTA has been organising, and the current series of the UITP Asia-Pacific Congresses.

In line with the theme 'People-centred Mobility for Liveable Cities', SITCE 2013 will cover the entire urban transport spectrum, from transport policy and planning, to design and construction of rail and road infrastructures, as well as intelligent transport systems and other innovations. The congress will also be complemented by a world-class exhibition.

It is about transporting people, not about vehicles. By understanding what people need and how they want their cities to look and feel, it translates to happier city-dwellers by pairing transport planning and urban development to deliver a sustainable urban environment.

The inaugural SITCE 2013 is a platform for urban land transport professionals worldwide to meet and discuss ways to shift the transport focus to people. The biennial SITCE is one of the first initiatives by the UITP Centre for Transport Excellence for the Asia-Pacific region. The Centre, to be housed in the LTA Academy, will be jointly established and developed by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) as a one-stop land transport knowledge and research hub in the region.

SITCE will bring four established conferences, the World Urban Transport Leaders Summit (WUTLS), the World Roads Conference (WRC), the World Urban Transit Conference (WUTC) and UITP Asia-Pacific Congress (APC). The biennial SITCE will congregate eminent internationa
