Host Cities (some highlights) Joburg (Yoliswa Mashilwane): BRT / SPTN Inner City Distribution System Rea Vaya ITS implementation

Host Cities (some highlights) Tshwane (Dennis Baloyi) Upgrades around Loftus BRT Fan parks not located, operational plans ? Limited ITS

Host Cities (some highlights) Cape Town (Donald Cupido) Well developed operational plan Already identified fan parks and practice venues ITS - FMS

Host Cities (cont.) Nelson Mandela (Dalene Campbell) Well organised Mangaung (Willie Loftus) Well developed Legacy plans Operational plans – waiting for guidance Polokwane, Rustenburg, Mbombela Waiting for guidance Implementation plans for infrastructure in place Resource problems

Security and Transport for SWC 2010 Frans Gibson, SAPS Borders – 300 000 passengers by air, 65 000 through border posts (Latest estimates 700 000 international , 400 000 inter continental, 300 000 from Africa) - Integration with Transport is an issue

Conclusions and Comments

Comment: Transport, Ports, Safety and security Ports of entry - Security versus transport capacity Airports – OK (?) Land transport around airports ? Will the airports handle the 155 000 pass / day on peak days ? Expect large number of visitors from neighbouring states – Capacity of Border posts a problem Integrated planning between Safety & Security and Transport officials – nothing done to date ? Taxi industry – how are they integrated ?

Comments: Operational Plans DOT has not made updated guidelines available Detailed plans have not yet been developed How we handle any incident will be the ultimate test of success (and what will be remembered) We need fall back plans for the fall back plans - Who, what, when, where and what thereafter Need to start testing ? (Do “dry” runs) Need continuity on development and implementation of operational plans (same service providers from 2007 to 2010 per city)

Comments: General The cities are well progressed with planning – ensuring timeous implementation of transport infrastructure will be the challenge Too much focus on “legacy” infrastructure ? What are the unknowns we need to resolve Cut off point for start of infrastructure implementation

SWC 2010 Scorecard A preliminary scorecard was developed and rated Rating is based on perception of committee following the July 2007 Symposium Need to develop KPI’s to do a rigorous assessment of ongoing progress Need internal critical review of all transport plans

Scorecard – SA Transport – Ready to move for 2010

Recommendations Implement INTOP a.s.a.p. Appoint National and local champions supported by strong teams – ENOUGH OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS Cities should develop operational plans a.s.a.p Provide resources to implement operational plans – National, Cities Critical review of infrastructure plans – timeous completion Integrate SWC 2010 operational plans and infrastructure plans

Recommendations (cont.) Will need to accelerate the speed of implementation Small mistakes can have historical consequences We owe it to the country and the continent to make 2010 a success 2010 is an opportunity for nation building – we must use it
