DOT HEARINGS: PTI AND PTNO APPLICATION 10 SEPTEMBER 2013
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW • Executive Summary • Polokwane IRPTS • Current context and response • Full network design • Transit oriented land use • Institutional arrangements with Province • Management capacity, political support and stakeholder buy-in • 2012/13 Progress and Spending • PTI allocations, rollover and spending • 2013/14 Progress and Spending • Current year progress on spending • Plans for 2014 MTEF • Worst-case scenario • Best case scenario
THE DUAL APPROACH • Phase 3 & 4– Intervention Focus • Build on current systems • Restructure Public Transport Operational Grant (PTOG) & achieve industry transformation • Provide reliable, safe, scheduled, public transport • BUT not entrench current spatial and mobility patterns Phase 4 BRT Phase 3 High Quality PT Phase 2 Phase 1 • Phase 1 &2– Intervention Focus: • High quality public transport system facilitated by dedicated infrastructure • Regenerate the CBD • High density development • Promote spatial in-filling
PROJECT CHALLENGES Projected expenditure • More pictures Increase in our institutional capacity
WHY WE ARE HERE MTEF Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 Current Phase 1: Seshego Phase 2: Moletji Phase 3: Mankweng Phase 4: North West/ Koloti
POLOKWANE CURRENT CONTEXT Population: 630 000 Mean Monthly HH Income: R2000 Large number of rural remote settlements connected by subsidised buses & MBTs Residential pop. concentration in NW (10km - 20km out) 20km Fast growing urban area with strong CBD 40km Summary: Low income, mixed density, mixed urban - rural
POLOKWANE CURRENT CONTEXT Public transport provides an opportunity to address our urban and spatial planning challenges
THE DUAL APPROACH Rapid Transit Phase 2 Phase 1 • Phase 1 &2– Intervention Focus: • High quality public transport system facilitated by dedicated infrastructure • Regenerate the CBD • High density development • Promote spatial in-filling
THE DUAL APPROACH Restructured Transit Phase 4 Phase 3 • Phase 3 & 4– Intervention Focus • Build on current systems • Restructure Public Transport Operational Grant (PTOG) & achieve industry transformation • Provide reliable, safe, scheduled, public transport • BUT not entrench current spatial and mobility patterns
TRANSIT ORIENTED LAND USE Essential services in rural areas Development of stand alone urban hub Infilling between Seshego and CBD • The Dual Approach • Phase 1 & 2: Rapid transit system encourages spatial infilling between Seshego & CBD • Phase 3: Establishes Mankweng as an economic hub, while linking it with the CBD • Phase 4: Provides essential service to city
PHASE 1 & 2 – SYSTEM DESCRIPTION • PIRPTS System Description • Trunk & Trunk Extension Design • 80% of route residential, 54,000hh • 20,000 pax/peak period • 80% of hh within 500m of PIRTN • 4 million vehicle kms/year • 12.5 million passenger trips/year E Phase 2 Phase 1 • PIRPTS Vehicles • 151 x solo buses (65 capacity) • 35 x midi buses (25) • Total: 186
PHASE 1 & 2 - INFRASTRUCTURE • PIRPTS Infrastructure • 12 km trunk lane • 6.6 km of trunk dedicated lane • 7 trunk extensions • 5 feeder routes • 6 trunk stations • Church Street pedestrianized & dedicated to public transport • 2 Depots E Phase 2 Phase 1
PHASE 1 & 2 – DEDICATED LANE ASSESSMENT E • Recommendation: Two Dedicated Lanes • Travel time advantage • A differentiated service • Lower enforcement challenges • Lower safety risks • Lower costs • Current Situation • Dual carriage way to CBD • Main access road with increasing congestion C • Interventions Explored: • Mixed Traffic (no dedicated lane) • An Off-Peak Contra-Flow Lane • Single Median Bus Way • Two Dedicated Lanes (B to C) • Full trunk dedicated lanes • Full trunk, strengthened dedicated lanes B
PHASE 3 – MANKWENG DESIGN MANKWENG CENTRAL NODE • Focus: • Formalise and integrate current Mini-Bus Taxi (MBT) & Bus Services • Use existing vehicles • Offering operational efficiencies • Improve connectivity, peak & off-peak availability • Safeand reliable • Restructuring current PTOG contracts • Integrated Fare Management 60 Standard Buses providing 15 000 pax trips per day on Polokwane to Mankweng trunk route. • Design: • Feeders to centralisedMankweng interchange • Trunk route running to CBD
PHASE 4 - NW/KOLOTI DESIGN Restructure existing 25 Buses + 35 MTB’s to feed into transfer terminal of PIRPTS at Moletjie. Approx. 4500 pax trips per day. • Focus: • Formalise and integrate current Mini-Bus Taxi (MBT) & Bus Services • Use existing vehicles • Offering operational efficiencies • Improve connectivity, peak & off-peak availability • Safeand reliable • Restructuring current PTOG contracts • Integrated Fare Management • Design: • Feeders to Koloti Interchange or to edge of Perskebuilt • Trunk route through running to CBD To Moletjie
CITY WIDE NMT Cycle and Pedestrian Networks Urban Greening
ACCESS DESIGN • The initial draft Universal Design Access Plan will be available at the end of September. • Thereafter, a Universal Design Workshop will be held for all team members and stakeholders to introduce the concepts of Universal Design and Accessibility. • Engagement of local organisations and groups of Passengers with Categories of Special Needs is being planned.
