Implications of Guarantees for the Sector
B. Main Objectives Objective 1 - Support the success of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The eyes of the world will be on South Africa. Transport must run so smoothly as to be invisible Objective 2 - The high profile of the events offers RSA a chance to accelerate the pace of implementation, and catalyse a lasting transport legacy
G. Transport Plan for 2010 / Action Agenda C. Transport Action Plan for Version Year 2006 Action Agenda for ensuring Operational Success and Establishing a Legacy of Improvement from the Investment towards the 2010 FIFA World Cup Initially a document to ensure Engagement Articulates Vision, Objectives & Principles for Successful World Cup Transport leaving a Legacy of Transport Improvement Sets out Planning and Implementation Framework Reports on Status of Planning Proposes Implementation Plan Backed by PTIF Fund totalling R3.741bn Communicates initial development programme to achieve World Cup readiness
Passenger rail transport integration [1 st phase (SARCC –Metrorail consolidation done)] 2 nd phase (incorporation of long distance Shosholoza Meyl scheduled for mid 2007). Total rail investment = R10,3bn. Expansion of bus services & metered taxis in host cities. Sections of the Gautrain that will have a direct bearing on the World Cup will be ready by 2010 D1. Opportunity to Accelerate Prioritised Transport Programmes
Taxi Recapitalisation- New taxi vehicles rollout & scrapping of old vehicles- Sept Target -80% implementation by 2010 Public Transport Strategy by Jan. 07 Lekgotla D2. Opportunity to Accelerate Prioritised Transport Programmes
Aviation: ACSA revised their capital expenditure programme to address 2010 needs. Key projects have been brought forward to ensure adequate capacity at the following airports: New airport at the Dube Trade Port to be completed by 2010 Upgrades:Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth Airports (among others) Expansion of international and domestic air transport services (airlift strategy) D3. Opportunity to Accelerate Prioritised Transport Programmes
E. Public Transport Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) Established Mar Public transport conditional grant. Focus on infrastructure investments to secure improved priority and better operations for public transport and NMT, supporting WC2010 needs. DOT will set KPIs and targets, and oversee expenditure 2005/06 – R241,7m; 2006/07 – R700m; 2007/08 – R1800m; 2008/09 – 1000m, TOTAL = R3.74bn Key Issue: As we move closer to Does the fund need to change its focus / separate fund be established to ensure operational readiness ?
F. PTIF Projects Request areas predominantly road and rail public transport and non-motorised transport Project types include planning, physical infrastructure and systems Planning includes transport planning, detailed project plans and designs Infrastructure and systems projects include: Public transport road infrastructure Public transport interchange facilities Rail upgrades Inter-modal facilities ITS infrastructure and systems NMT infrastructure Inner-city mobility systems Call centre systems
Key Requirements for PTIF Funding Projects to prioritise public transport Projects to satisfy both long term mobility (legacy) and event specific mobility requirements Projects to have continuity from planning to execution Projects to be executed in accordance with EPWP requirements Projects to be based on local IDPs and ITPs, addressing community access and mobility needs Projects to be practical and implementable ahead of 2010

F1. Clarification of Roles DOT –National Transport Plan for 2010 –Coordination & focal point for info exchange –Technical support –Evaluate Priority Statements –Manage PTIF Host Cities –Local Transport Plan for 2010 (linked to the ITP) –Prepare Priority Statements –Deliver projects –Integrate local plan with other sectors within the cities
F2. Clarification of Roles DOT –Remove critical barriers –Monitor and evaluate –Interdepartmental coordination –National operational plan (framework. –Develop guidelines & set standards Host Cities –Reporting (i.t.o. PTIF, DORA, PFMA & MFMA) –Local operational plan Jointly (& with NT) develop an appropriate Funding Protocol
G. TYPICAL 2010 SCENARIONS ARE WE READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?
Initial Travel Demand Estimates 64 Matches Av. Capacity of per match 3.2 million tickets International visitors with tickets attending on av. 4-5 matches Long haul and cross border arrivals without tickets? Match scheduling agreements Regional and local movements? Plans for and estimates for Fan Fests Low Firm Degree of Certainty
FACTORS AFFECTING ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE TRAVEL DEMANDS Level of organised transport response to influence and manage travel patterns, mode selection etc Venue clustering, influencing match schedules Accelerating PT, transport management and NMT investment Reducing regular travel demands
Transport Factors Influence on WC Plans Tournament dates – must overlap with academic holidays (reduced demands, buses available, use student accommodation and campuses for WC) Match schedule – work within FIFA requirements to cluster venues to moderate transport demands within each market (air, land-distance, local)– vital. Venue city decisions on Fan Fests, other Public Viewing, and Training Venues must consider serving by transport as a critical factor.
Outline of Travel Demand Implication of Different World Cup Match Scheduling Approaches 2010 WC Match Scheduling Scenario Regional trips by ticket holders 1. Venue Clustering applied + overlap with academic holidays Day to trips 2. No Venue Clustering+20% on scenario 1 trips 3. Weeks 1 and 2 do not overlap with academic holidays +20% on background travel demands 4. Scenario 1 and Each Group assigned to 3 venues for opening round -25% on scenario 1 demands
MATCH SCHEDULING PRINCIPLES 10 venues submitted to FIFA FIFA preferred tournament dates 31 days, 11 June to 11 July 2010(?) Schedule where possible 2 free days between matches in same venue Number of matches typically weighted to larger stadia and main cities FIFA practice that each team plays no more than once in any venue during 1 st Round. Each venue will play host to 2 matches featuring one of the top seeded teams. Match start times will be influenced by world broadcast peak audience. Significant recognition of host country’s requirements & constraints
OVERLAP OF ACADEMIC HOLIDAYS AND 2010 WORLD CUP Move
Pressure on local transport Pressure on inter-city land transport Pressure on domestic airlines TRANSPORT PRESSURES – NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE SHOWING THE THREE PROPOSED INTER-VENUE TRAVEL SYSTEMS
Venue Clustering Limit to one match in each venue cluster each day, apart from days 12-15
This match schedule applies the principle of venue clustering to limit the demands on the three inter- venue transport travel systems
BUSIEST DAYS (DAY 15 – ALL MODES)
AIR PASSENGERS AT PEAK OF WORLD CUP Domestic Airline Daily Capacity Stretched to capacity on all World Cup days Up to 80% above forecast capacity in 2010 for busiest days.
DAY 15, COACH & RAIL PASSENGERS 26, 800 pax. inter city trains 460, 50 seat coaches THESE ARE GAPS. CURRENT COACH FLEET WILL BE TAKEN UP BY SPECIAL TARGET GROUPS VERY FEW AVAILABLE FOR INTER- CITY WORLD CUP SERVICES
Initial Estimate of number of vehicles required for local venue transport: All venues 60 train-sets 2400 buses for venue cities 6000 minibus taxis Full hire car fleet Full tourism charter / shuttle fleet } Vehicle and } system quality } issues
