INTRODUCTION Low ridership Population growth Congestion CHALLENGES Population growth Rapid urbanisation Equity imbalances Low ridership Congestion Increase in average travel time. SOLUTIONS Policy and framework – NATMAP 2050 Massive investments – Rail, BRT, roads, supporting infrastructure. Could the improvement or addition of transport management measures get the best out of the current infrastructure and systems that are in place? 1

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT HOVs – Financial incentives for carpooling and dedicated right-of-way. Parking Management – reduces undesirable parking impacts and promotes a shift from non-SOVs Work practices and schedules – have alternative work schedules i.e. staggered hours, flexitime or a compressed work week. Congestion pricing – variable charges unlike the convectional tolling system. It can discourage the use of SOVs in some instances. 2

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS ITS uses technologies to improve the operation, safety and convenience of the transportation system. Intelligent transport systems process and share information at rates and efficiencies that humans cannot achieve. MULTIMODALITY Aspire to car ownership Heavily reliant on PT, but see it as a mode for the poor. Increase the performance and attractiveness of alternate travel choices and their integration. NMT – Walking Cities, Cycling. 3

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS USER INFORMATION Supply and Demand - Commuter will choose the shortest and cheapest routes. Users need to make continuously informed decisions More representative design assumptions for planners and engineers ENFORCEMENT Transport management strategies must be properly enforced for the intended added benefit to be realised. E-tolls? BRTs? On the ground surveillance/technology driven solutions Penalties – Monetary fines, revoking of licenses, sanctions, jail time. 4

CONCLUSIONS It is clear that no amount of capital investment will drastically improve transportation, unless there is a change in operating inefficiencies. A good transportation network requires large investments, however these investments should not be seen solely in shape of large, new and exciting infrastructures. The systems in which they operate can prove to be just as important, if not more, in providing efficient transport. Certain management strategies can get the best out of current infrastructure while still laying the foundation on which future interventions can comfortably rest. 5
