The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has made it a priority to improve the lives of those residing in townships, informal settlements, and hostels. This is particularly important given the challenges faced by these communities, which often lack access to safe and reliable public transport.

Improving Public Transport Infrastructure and Services

One of the department’s key priorities is providing safe, reliable, and affordable public transport. The department has implemented various projects aimed at achieving this goal. These include expanding the Gautrain network, constructing new bus and taxi ranks, and introducing new bus rapid transit routes. These initiatives are expected to have a significant impact on the lives of Gauteng’s residents, especially those who rely on public transport.

Facilitating the Movement of Goods and Services

The department’s role in facilitating the movement of goods and services is critical in driving the province’s economic growth.

The department has implemented several initiatives aimed at improving the province’s road network, such as constructing new roads, maintaining existing ones, and implementing intelligent transport systems to manage traffic flow. These initiatives are expected to enhance the province’s competitiveness, attract investment, and create employment opportunities.

The Gauteng Roads and Transport Budget Vote 2023/24 demonstrates the department’s commitment to transforming the lives of the province’s residents and driving its economic growth.
