• In 2013, the Land Transport Authority rolled out the Walk2Ride Programme in the Land Transport Master Plan. One of the projects in this plan was to construct a network of covered walkways totalling 200 kilometres in length and connected to key transport nodes, enabling commuters to conveniently access public transport by foot.
• A covered walkway network usually has a Mass Rapid Transit station as its centre and is connected to schools, commercial centres, healthcare facilities, and Housing & Development Board flats within 400 metres of the station.
• Besides providing shelter from the elements, covered walkways also have rest areas built along their path for pedestrians to take a break.
• Covered walkways adopt a single-post structure as much as possible to maximise the walking space.

The Land Transport Authority worked with Fajar Secondary School to build a six-metre-long covered walkway that connects the school gate with existing covered walkways, so that students and staff are completely sheltered from the elements when entering and leaving the school.
