About Us

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport (GDRT) developed the initial 25-year Integrated Transport Master Plan (ITMP25) for the Gauteng Province (also known as the ITMP25 project) in 2013. This project mapped out key transport projects and plans to be rolled out over the next 25 years until 2037. In addition to the 2013 ITMP25, the GDRT developed a 5-Year Gauteng Transport Implementation Plan (GTIP5). Subsequently in the second quarter of 2023, the Transport Authority for Gauteng (TAG) and the GDRT commenced with the review, preparation, and update of the ITMP25. It also includes the preparation of an interim GTIP5 with the final GTIP5 to be concluded together with the ITMP25.

Non-Motorised Transport (NMT)

The delivery of non-motorised transport infrastructure is critical for improved transport service delivery.

Public Transport

Spatial planning and settlement patterns in the province are not taking advantage of high-capacity public transport modes. Also, the frequency and density of higher-capacity public transport modes should be continuously reviewed to respond to changing travel patterns.

Increasing Capacity

Much more investment is required to increase the capacity of the transport system, particularly higher capacity public transport infrastructure and services.

Household

It is more difficult for households to afford transport services.

Cost of Transport

Transport continues to contribute significantly to the increased cost of living.

Special Needs Accessibility

People with Disabilities need to be taken into consideration in the development of public transport.

Rail Transport

South Africa’s railway network is in a state of decline, as seen by the decrease in freight transported by train over the past five years. The country’s rail network carried nearly 230 million tons of freight in 2017 and only 179 million in 2021, the lowest volume recorded over the past decade.
