South Africa: Moving South Africa Project/The Moving South Africa Action Agenda

This project outlines the strategic framework for the South African transport sector through 2020. It addresses urban, rural, freight and special transport needs, analyzes the sustainability of the present transport system and presents possible solutions to the problems facing the industry. Implementation of government planning policy and legislation to improve spatial development and road planning would reduce commuter distances and traffic jams. The aim is to implement of some form of travel-demand management, such as parking and access control or incentives, in conjunction with developing an improved public transport system, rather than simply construct more roads which would increase automobile use.

Date Implemented: 1999

Status: In Force; Government Initiative
