Motor Vehicle Population under Vehicle Quota System

Description

Land Transport Authority CSV of Singapore motor vehicle population under the Vehicle Quota System by month and COE category, covering about January 2014 through February 2018. Columns include month, category, and vehicle counts, with notes on weekend/off-peak cars, taxis, and VQS exemptions. Transport analysts track Category A/B fleet size under COE rules used for quota and congestion policy research.

Official description

Figures include weekend/off peak cars and tax exempted vehicles. Prior to Aug 2012, taxi operators can bid for a new COE or pay Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to register a taxi under Category A. The latter is only in the case of a new taxi that replaces a deregistered one within 6 months. From 6 Aug 2012 onwards, all taxis pay for COEs based on the PQP of Category A. Vehicles exempted from the VQS include scheduled and school buses, emergency vehicles, engineering plants primarily for off-the-road use, diplomatic vehicles and vehicles under the Disabled Person Scheme. Cars registered with COEs obtained from the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise onwards: * Category A: Cars up to 1600cc and 97kW * Category B: Cars above 1600cc or 97kW Cars registered with COEs obtained before Feb 2014 bidding exercises: * Category A: Cars up to 1600cc * Category B: Cars above 1600cc M01-MVP By Quota
