Buffalo City has commenced work. Polokwane, Rustenburg, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini, Msunduzi are in the procurement stage. Mangaung has not started due to lack of initiative at local level - which the DoT is currently addressing. Number of integrated rapid public transport networks offering hour operations 412JHB, CT, and NMB are on track to be operational by March 2010 at the latest. Tshwane is aiming to make up for lost time due to internal resourcing delays. Number of rural transport networks adopted by district municipalities 33Due to current budgetary focus on 2010 host cities, rural Phase 1 Network projects will commence with planning in the 2010/11 year.

Progress in meeting Millennium Development Goals Department of Transport Goals are to eradicate poverty by job creation, ensure environmental stability and improve economic development by providing access: Extended public works programme Regional roads Secondary strategic roads Gauteng freeway improvement scheme Rail branch line revitalisation 19

Department of Transport Extended public works programme (EPWP) 20 Over the next five years government will implement the second phase of its EPWP, which provides incentives to use more labour-intensive methods in the delivery of infrastructure and routine services R3 billion was allocated from 2007/08 to 2009/10 An additional R4,1 billion was allocated over the new MTEF period In 2007/08, a total of 75,100 work opportunities were created on EPWP road projects, including 58,913 work opportunities on access roads Projects include: “20T” programme in Gauteng to address road infrastructure backlogs in townships and settlement areas to improve connectivity, access to markets and to create job opportunities Zibambele Road Maintenance Programme in KZN: 38,000 contractors currently employed; 22,000 km of road receiving regular maintenance; R200 million budget per annum

Department of Transport Regional roads 21 The Regional Action Agenda prioritises projects to promote regional integration and economic development Projects include: SA – Lesotho: Sani Pass access road: South Africa will improve the access road and relocate the South African Border post and Lesotho will improve the road on its side R25 million already spent by DOT, and R34,3 million in the process of being transferred to KZN SA – Botswana: A joint venture was finalised aimed at the upgrading of bridges and river crossings between the countries Construction commenced on the Ramotswa Bridge Feasibility studies were completed for the Zanzibar, Platjan and Stockpoort borders and an Environment Impact Assessment is underway

Department of Transport Secondary strategic roads 22 These are primary feeders to national roads and roads that are the economic backbones of provinces The target is that each household must be able to access a road within 500m by 2014, to link rural communities and rural areas to the major economic hubs and markets, facilitating economic growth and development The full extent of the Strategic Secondary Roads Network was identified and key roads and projects were prioritised Projects include: Tarka bridge to Cradock, which eliminated the high risk Baberskrans Pass section on the N10. Pedestrian crossings and street lighting were completed by employing 196 local people The Roads Coordination body started planning the implementation of the reclassification of the road network

Department of Transport Gauteng freeway improvement scheme 23 The goal is to reduce traffic congestion and to promote public transport Intelligent transport systems were piloted, such as variable message boards, cameras, and ramp metering The target date for completion is May 2010 Construction started on the N1 between the R21 and Atterbury intersections Environment impact assessments, feasibility studies and designs were completed, and tenders were awarded for the addition of lanes and improvement of intersections on the N14, N3, N4, R21, and N12

Department of Transport Rail branch line revitalisation 24 Rail is regarded as the most cost effective mass mode of transport. The Rail Branch Line Revitalisation Strategy identified previously abandoned rail networks that should be revitalised to link communities to economic hubs and to provide commuters with cost effective alternative modes of transport. Projects include: Nkwalini Rail Line – Completed Belmont Douglas – Phase 1 of construction has been completed Kei Rail – Reconstruction completed and line is now operational for passengers. Province is currently in process of procuring an operator for freight services. Moloto Rail Line – Passenger rail line linking Mpumalanga and Gauteng: Feasibility studies have been completed

Priority is being given to the “FIFA guarantees” Measures to deal with under expenditure: Technical assistance being provided to Mbombela, Mangaung, Tshwane, Polokwane and Rustenburg, with positive results Teams were deployed to assist with design of IRPTN’s and BRT systems

Budgeting challenges and unfunded mandates Department of Transport Budgeting challenges Unfunded mandates 47

Department of Transport Budgeting challenges 48 Exponential increase in the cost of road maintenance and construction Backlogs in road maintenance limit the expansion and maintenance of the road network, and increases road transportation costs Inefficiencies in the rail system caused rail tonnage to decline while road tonnage increased, increasing the burden on roads Freight logistics costs are currently much higher than those compared to South Africa’s trading partners Only a portion of the bus subsidies is either tendered or on a negotiated contract, which restricts the transformation of bus subsidies Rail commuter services is severely under capitalised with most of the rolling stock more than 35 years old. This limits the number of operational rolling stock due to ongoing maintenance and refurbishment Development and implementation of an economic pricing model for the Road Accident Fund

Department of Transport 49 Budgeting challenges (continued) Implementation of the Public Transport Strategy and Rail Plan Transport Authorities need to be set up to enable local Governments to undertake localised transportation planning to achieve objectives such as modal integration. Where these Transport Authorities have been set up, problems are experienced with funding Funding constraints for economic regulation for all modes of transport Funding constraints for rail safety regulation Improvement of regional road infrastructure Implementation of the Rural Transport Strategy Freight databanks Overload control

Department of Transport 50 Budgeting challenges (continued) Government Service Fees allocated to SAMSA are not adequate for the services rendered by SAMSA Training of seafarers Development of an inter-city bus fleet and training of bus drivers

Department of Transport Unfunded mandates 51 Transformation of bus subsidies Law enforcement in the taxi industry Construction of the Moloto Rail Corridor Revitalisation of a number of rail branch lines Transport security for all modes of transport Development of a national road asset management and information system Turnaround of the Operating Licensing Boards Turnaround of the CBRTA Development of a National Freight Information System
