4. Department of Transport Context (drivers of growth) • Transport is a key enabler of social and economic growth and development • Investment in our people • Investment in our physical infrastructure • Enhanced industrial capacity • Role of Transport: • Skills development and training • Establishment of strategic transport links (lower cost of production, shorter trade links, enhanced mobility and tourism)

5. Department of Transport Context (Continued) The DOT strategies will as far as possible be implemented to support government priorities regarding: •Economic growth •Poverty alleviation •Job creation: expanded public works programme •Rural development •Black economic empowerment •Gender equity • Access for people with disabilities •Technical innovation

6. Department of Transport Key functions • Policy and Strategy Formulation: • The Department of Transport (DOT) is responsible for developing transport policy and providing transport infrastructure to support Government’s broader socio-economic objectives • Substantive Regulation • Leading implementation in other spheres of Government • Monitoring implementation by Transport Public Entities and other spheres of Government: • The DOT has delegated its service provision responsibility, as well as its regulatory responsibility to a number of public entities.

7. Department of Transport Mandate and Aim Mandate: To facilitate the provision of an affordable, safe and sustainable transport system; which is responsive to the needs of transport users. Aim: The aim of the Department of Transport is to establish a national transport system that enables national, provincial and local provision of efficient, affordable and fully integrated infrastructure and services that best meet the needs of transport users and promote economic and social development while being environmentally and economically sustainable.

8. Department of Transport Key challenges • An efficient public transport system: • Reorganisation and review of the subsidy system • Service levels and infrastructure requirements supportive to public transport - including renewal of rail rolling stock • Unblocking freight flows: • Speedy and seamless movement of goods • Improving the levels of investment in the freight logistics systems to sustain the required levels of service - including investment in ports • The need to increase investment in transport infrastructure across all modes. • The need to establish a stronger regulatory regime and to strengthen oversight over transport public entities • Improved support of regional transport integration under the NEPAD framework • Road and rail safety

9. Department of Transport Key performance measures • Competitive transportation costs • The development of targeted infrastructure together with appropriate regulation will ensure that various modes of transport can be competitive and can provide an optimal modal mix for transportation in South Africa. Currently, certain commodities are transported by road, while being more suited to rail transport, because of inefficiencies in the rail system • Safety improvements • Safety improvements across all modes of transport will improve transport efficiencies while reducing the cost of externalities • Reduce infrastructure backlog • Backlogs in road and rail infrastructure needs to be addressed to create sustainable infrastructure as well as to improve safety on these modes of transport

10. Department of Transport Key performance measures (Continued) • Improved access • Access to and the affordability of particularly public transport is essential to facilitate access to economic opportunities and social inclusion • Reduce time to transit • The reduction in transit times in particularly the freight logistics system will both reduce costs and facilitate a migration to more appropriate modes of transport for the commodities that are transported

11. Department of Transport Strategic imperatives • Lead the process to eliminate significant bottlenecks and costs in Freight Logistics • Develop and pilot appropriate Public Transport models for the rural and urban poor • Lead and accelerate the process to improve Land Transport Safety • Overhaul the capacity of the Department to execute on the agreed strategy

12. Department of Transport Key deliverables • Freight Logistics (Competitive movement of goods) • National Freight Logistics Strategy • Corridor Development • Backlog on infrastructure funding (rail and roads) • Strategic Road network / Road infrastructure strategic framework • Branch line strategy • Freight line upgrade • Border posts • Maritime Strategy • Ports Regulator and National Ports Authority • Regional integration • Overloading control

13. Department of Transport Key deliverables (Continued) • Public Transport service provision • National Travel Survey • Local transport plans • Simplifying the planning process • Supporting local authorities • Improving public transport services • Public transport infrastructure • Safety promotion • Transformation of public transport subsidies • Taxi recapitalisation • Institutional arrangements of passenger rail services

14. Department of Transport Key deliverables (Continued) • Land transport safety • Road to Safety strategy • Rail safety and security – Railway Safety Regulator • Operationalise the Road Traffic Management Corporation • Implementation of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act

15.
