Key Service Delivery Issues

• How does DOT become the centre of the transport value chain?

• Mandates analysis assisted with this

• Service delivery model being reviewed– Structure being revised

– Coordinating mechanisms being reviewed

– Inter-sphere planning being integrated

– Transport value chain is point of departure

– Mode-based orientation

• DoT is coordinator of transport implementation;

• DoT needs to provide leadership to the entire sector

• Is Transport under-funded?• There was additional funding, but this was from a low base;

some of the additional funding went for Soccer World Cup

• DOT will request additional funding:– Road maintenance

– Public transport interventions

– Road safety

• DOT will also step up efforts to obtain PPP funding
