Overview A wide range of policies, programmes and incentives must knit together as an effective toolkit to address the challenge of ensuring sustainable transport futures.
This brief presentation outlines some key issues and ideal outcomes in regard to transport solutions, which are beginning to form the planning blueprints in our metropolitan areas.
More specifically attention is focussed on a range of objectives and actions to be carried through by the entire spectrum of stakeholders, which would create a shared responsibly for our transport and cities’ futures.

South African Context
• Very low densities and forced dislocation• Integrated transport and land use not
promoted• Growth in informal market / para-transit• Rich/Poor Dichotomy • Lack of capital investment and funding
constraints

•Single trip, very poor fleet utilisation, excessive waste.
•Disaggregated services, duplication of routes.
•Worker / commuter focus, not targeted to non working poor.
•Extensive inefficiencies, x-inefficiencies, system inefficiencies, land-use transport inefficiencies.

•Backbone of high-capacity corridor services (build scale economies).
•Integrated network, complementarity between corridor and feeder/distribution services.
•Zonal fare system, able to target priority areas & individuals. Also network now provides broader range of services and destinations to cater for all trip needs.
•Franchised services on corridors: improving internal efficiencies, improving system efficiencies, catalyst for greater densification and land-use/transport integration.

NLTTA principles
• Public transport should be affordable and achieve: – Mode integration– Cost efficiency and service quality– Optimal allocation & utilisation of resources
• Customer focussed
• Least harmful to the environment.
![Page 12: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
NLTTA Principles Achieve efficiency in land transport through
integrated planning
• Public transport to be given higher priority than private
• PT to be planned on basis of mode integration
• Investment in infrastructure to promote economic, financial, technical and environmental sustainability
![Page 13: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NLTTA PrinciplesLand use functions must be integrated
through
• Co-ordination of institutional functions
• Corridor development
• Densification and infilling
• Transport planning to guide land use and development planning

Western Cape Transport PolicyEnvironmental Sustainability
• All urban transport plans objective to reduce or stabilise travel esp. petrol driven
• Reduce trip lengths• More efficient urban structure• Greater PT share• Environmentally sensitive forms of propulsion• Review basis of licence fee from mass to
engine capacity
![Page 15: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Western Cape Transport PolicyIntegration between transport and land use
• Strategic consideration of roles to achieve efficient, effective and equitable system.
• To do this need policies on containment, densification and mixed land use leading to fundamental restructuring of land use to reduce travel demand
• Land use plans must be subject to approved LUTPF

Central & Provincial Government• Overarching policy and strategy to deliver
integrated transport-land use solutions• Establish the planning and institutional
frameworks• Guide planning and implementation at all levels• Prioritise expenditures• Allocate funding according to appropriate
impacts• Constrained by, public expenditure limits,
funding legislation, capacity for implementation
![Page 18: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Central & Provincial Government
• Balanced policy of restraints & incentives for commuter travel– Restraining non-optimal transport decisions
– Congestion pricing
– Fuel levies
– Developer Contributions
– Incentives for most efficient response– Subsidisation of most effective, least cost public transport
– Tax incentives for companies with energy-optimizing transport policies
![Page 19: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Local Authorities• Clear, bold, realistic integrated transport plans • Improve road congestion management, e.g.:
– Improved local road design– Improved incident management– Parking restrictions
• Streamline and prioritise public transport• Upgrade & market public transport (develop a
realistic choice)• Design NMT friendly towns and cities
![Page 20: Sustainable Integrative transport solutions Richard Gordge CSIR Transportek, PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa E-mail: rgordge@csir.co.zargordge@csir.co.za.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e895503460f94b8e1e4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Companies• Develop positive policies on:
– Telecommuting– Flexitime (staggered working hours)– Compressed working weeks
• Promote formation of sustainable transport via:– NMT promotion– Preferential parking for car sharers– In-house information (e.g. website, bulletin board)
for car share information)
• Green Plans (in association with LA’s)

BOOTS, Pfizer: Case studies
• Pay influenced, points allocated / deducted based on JTW mode.
• Car share scheme- priority parking • Subsidized shuttle buses for station as well as other• Travel access plan and staff education on environmentally
friendly transport• Promoting cycling by providing bicycle sheds, showers &
lockers• Green plans creates basis for negotiation with LA’s
Successfully reducing private car use through company based initiatives

Individuals• Consider your trip impacts• Choose public over private transport• Choose non-motorised over motorised
transport for short trips• Form lift clubs• Form groups to influence local authorities
(e.g.to provide pedestrian and cycling facilities where applicable)
• Form groups to negotiate flexi-hours etc with companies

Conclusions• Simply projecting trends SA’s indicates unsustainable
transport future• Putting public transport first creates the backbone for
sustainable transport development, funding must reflect this• Viable alternatives to private travel are necessary• NMT to be promoted at every opportunity• Integrated land-use & transport planning and management • Comprehensive buy-in, including individuals and
companies, a pre-requisite• Well researched development projects creates the energy,
insight and learning for more fundamental change
