Objectives of the ITMP25
ITMP25 aims to achieve integrated land use and transport planning in the Gauteng Region. To balance social objectives and stimulate economic development, the implementation of the ITMP25 must:
- Enable significant sustainable, long-term socio-economic development and job creation.
- Be socially inclusive and transform the Gauteng Region.
- Be environmentally sound and sustainable.
- Be used as a Government intervention to improve the status quo pro-actively.
- Ensure that infrastructure investment priorities are linked as closely as possible to current and planned future patterns of land use.
- Optimise the utilisation and integration of various modes of transport to minimise traffic congestion, reduce pollution and maximise service delivery.
- Provide recommendations per corridor that will encourage and enable the relevant transport modes to support one another’s services, rather than compete on the same route.
- Prioritise public transport and the associated non-motorised transport requirements, as well as the efficient movement of freight in and beyond the Province.
- Support key freight and logistics nodes and corridors.
- Include non-motorised transport facilities in the planning to support public transport services and enhance the quality of the built environment in general.
- Use financial support and subsidisation as a lever and catalyst for the development of the desired urban form.
- Address mobility and accessibility needs of all communities, with particular attention paid to the movement of people with universal access needs.
- Accelerate the digitalisation of Gauteng’s transport system.
