2. Congratulations to Us!

3. Africa’s Stage: 2010 DOT Objectives
Objective 1 - Support the success of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The eyes of the world will be on South Africa. Transport must run so smoothly as to be invisible
Objective 2 - The high profile of the events offers RSA a chance to accelerate the pace of implementation, and catalyse a lasting transport legacy

4. Objectives in Detail
Objective 1 - Support the Success of the World Cup
Meet commitments of Bid Book and Guarantee
Engage all levels of governments and many sectors
Co-ordinate preparations in PT, Freight Logistics, Aviation and Maritime, Enforcement
Ensure Special WC Service provision and management

5. Objective 1 – A Different Ball Game
The scale of a FIFA World Cup ™ event overwhelming
Well in excess of 150,000 spectators per match, inside stadia and at other viewing venues
Matches timed to suit international media rights, not SA congestion peaks
Thousands expected at training events and friendlies
Overall duration of 6-8 weeks, rather than 4-5 days
Transport business-as-usual will be inadequate to address travel demand from ticket holders and accompanying visitors
Mobility in the form of quality urban Public Transport that can enable South Africa to extract the maximum economic benefits from the event.

6. Objective 2: A lasting legacy
Objective 2 – Extract a Lasting Legacy in Public Transport and Transportation Management

7. The DRAFT 2010 Transport Action Agenda
Articulate a Vision around Public Transport
Activate, Direct, Focus, promote investment and accelerated effort around key projects that meet World Cup and long term Public Transport needs

8. 2010 is But One Milestone in Transforming the Sector
Decisions about 2010 come within the context of long term choices and processes
Taxi recap and subsidisation
Re-investment in rail
Devolution to local authorities
Establishment of Transport Authorities

9. How to Extract a Legacy?
If Transport does not lead, events managers simply cover the gaps
Bid Book promises almost nothing in terms of PT/NMT
Learning from international experience
Sydney is the transport gold standard
Athens almost lost the 2004 Olympics due to transport disarray

Quality, appropriate, affordable, integrated public transport services and infrastructure
Safety in services and facilities
Strong priority in practice for public transport over private car use
Integrating environmental management into transport infrastructure and service choices
Use of Transport Demand Management measures for both special events and transportation management
