The LTA has announced that the Government is issuing yet another round of support for taxi and PHC drivers as Singapore returns into Phase 2 (Heightened Alert).

The new round of assistance will total $30 million, enhancing the COVID-19 Driver Relief Fund (CDRF) by an additional $10 per vehicle per day from 22 July 2021 to 31 August 2021, and an additional $5 per vehicle per day in September 2021.

The current extended CDRF already provides support for drivers with $10 per vehicle per day for 60 days from July 2021, and $5 per vehicle per day for the next 30 days.

This round of aid is being disbursed on top of the $40 million for the three-month extension of CDRF announced on 10 June 2021, bringing the total amount set aside for taxi and PHC sectors to $482 million since February 2020.
