12. NPC on Transport
• As
transport-‐intensive
country
transport
per
unit
of
output
is
above
global
average
• 34%
of
SA’s
gross
value-‐add
is
concentrated
in
Gauteng
–
far
from
ports
and
end-‐markets
• Exis,ng
corridors
serviced
by
outdated
rail
technology
and
poor
intermodal
linkages
• Ports
have
high
costs
and
low
produc,vity
13. NPC on Transport 2
• Rail
is
ideal
but
89%
of
all
freight
is
done
by
road
• Strains
road
network
suffering
significant
maintenance
backlogs
• Poor
road
safety
adds
addi,onal
costs
• Social
and
economic
exclusion
due
to
long
distances
• Mobility
broadens
social
and
economic
access
14. Key considerations
• Not
all
transport
dreams
can
be
fulfilled:
priori,es
are
key
– Focus
on
safe,
affordable
and
effec,ve
transport
• Transport
as
an
enabler:
Geang
SA
to
work
– Emphasis
on
total
system
efficiency
to
maximise
strengths
of
different
modes
• Modal
shib
from
private
transport
in
the
long
run
– A
marked
change
towards
public
transport
15. Policy & Planning Priorities
• Create
workable
urban
transit
solu,ons
with
public
and
private
components
• Strengthen
and
optomise
freight
corridors
• Provide
long-‐distance
passenger
transport
op,ons
• Rural
access
and
mobility

17. Conclusion
• The
Na,onal
Development
Plan
posi,ons
transport
and
ITS
as
key
levers
• Redefine
ITS
value
proposi,on
as
key
policy
driver
to
achieve
policy
outcomes
• Need
to
show
the
benefits
to
end-‐users
• Demonstrate
cost-‐benefit
evalua,on
of
ITS
amidst
shortage
of
resources
18. Conclusion
• Govt
has
excellent
macro-‐economic
policies,
BUT
• The
failure
is
to
take
ac,on
• Implementa,on
only
possible
in
partnership
between
Govt
and
Industry
