31 31 Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and Open Road Tolling

32 Gauteng u Most freeways in Gauteng reached their capacity u Peak hours are extending by 10 to 15 minutes each year u Results in congestion and uneconomical use of time with increased vehicle operating costs and carbon emissions 32

33 Economic Impact of Congestion & Insufficient Maintenance u SACCI comments (Jan 2010) : u Expressed concern about impact on business due to congestion and insufficient maintenance u Based on conservative assumptions, cost of congestion on Ben Schoeman amounts to R15m/hour u Excludes costs associated with: u Fuel and maintenance u Late freight deliveries u Lost business opportunities u Accident costs 33

34 Economic Impact of Congestion & Insufficient Maintenance u AA conducted tests (August 2007) : u 1600cc vehicle travelling between Pretoria and Johannesburg u 122 Minutes additional driving per day (40 additional hours per month) u Engines operating for longer times – 1,5l/hr when idling u Additional 705 litres wasted (469 hrs idling) per annum – Extra R4 935 (R7 per litre) u 80 000 people – R395 m per year wasted u Excludes working time, frustration, accidents 34

35 Maintenance and Repair Cost Increases due to Worsening Road Conditions “The results obtained from the comparison indicate that the maintenance and repair costs of a truck increase as the condition of the road on which the truck is travelling deteriorates. When moving from a good condition road to a bad condition one, increases in vehicle maintenance and repair costs of approximately 121% can potentially be experienced. In addition, the increase in truck repair and maintenance costs due to deteriorating road conditions can potentially lead to an estimated increase of around 10% in the total logistics costs of a company. Other costs that can potentially be attributed to deteriorating road quality are increased vehicle operating costs, increased fuel consumption, increased cargo damages and ultimately increased vehicle design and manufacturing costs.” * 35

36 Maintenance and Repair Cost Increases due to Worsening Road Conditions. *When comparing the average repair and maintenance costs of vehicles of two companies travelling on specific routes, associated to the condition... the results potentially indicate that a truck (truck 1) from Company B travelling from Newcastle to Gauteng (300 km) has on average maintenance and repair costs of R627 per trip. A similar truck (truck 2) from the same company travelling on the N3 between Gauteng and Durban for 300 km will have on average maintenance and repair costs of only R270 per trip. If we assume that both trucks make 100 round-trips a year (200 trips in total), the total maintenance and repair costs of truck 1 could potentially amount to R125 400 per year and for truck 2 it would be R54 000. This indicates a potential percentage increase in maintenance and repair costs of 132% per year when comparing a truck travelling on a bad road with one travelling on a good road for company B. 36

37 Background: Economic Impact Analysis u SANRAL conducted an economic impact study by the Graduate School of Business of the UCT u Economic impact analysis provided robust indication of project value to economy u Indicators show that project is economically viable and provides very high benefits to the Gauteng Province and South Africa 37

38 Background: Approval Processes u Approached Minister of Transport 2005 – project proposal u Inter governmental (all spheres) workgroup agreed project principles u DOT, SANRAL and Gauteng Government played leading role in compiling a document: “Gauteng Network Integration Process: Proposal for a Gauteng Freeway Improvement Scheme” u This report was concluded in May 2006. u Participants presented the report to political decision makers for acceptance 38

39 Background: Approval Processes u Several other interactive sessions followed with metropolitan authorities and The Gauteng Province. The project was presented to the Gauteng Province at: u The Gauteng Indaba (initiative of then MEC Jacobs) May 2006 u Workshop with Gauteng Province in April 2007 u Gauteng Legislature: Transport Portfolio Committee in August 2007 39

40 Background: Approval Processes u Cabinet approval – mid 2007 u Intent to toll process – October 2007, indicated a tariff of 50c/km u Advertised in local and national papers u Directly informed other authorities u Presentations made u Declared as a toll road – March 2008 u Procurement of contracts commenced thereafter 40

41 Road Works u Road construction : u Civil Works u 17 Projects u Value: R16.9 billion, including CPA, excl VAT 41

42 GFIP – Improvements Made u Widening of the freeways u 34 interchanges are significantly upgraded which will result in less congestion u Median lighting has been provided on the route to allow for a safer journey.

43 GFIP – Improvements Made u Result of Improvements: u Less congestion u Time savings u Greater production u Safer journey u Reduced carbon emissions u Created 20 000 jobs during construction

51 Funding u GFIP is not funded through the central fiscus u Funds are raised on the Capital Markets through SANRAL’s Domestic Medium Term Note Programme u The user-pay principle (tolling) is used to re-pay the loans, as well as for future operation and maintenance of these roads 51

52 Basis for Determination of Tariffs u Service and repay loans to fund initial capital cost u Interest payments during term of loans u Asset preservation u Routine road maintenance u Operational costs

53 Considerations– Setting Tariffs u Affordability – Since 2007, indicated tariff of 50c/km (2007 Rand) u Benefit to user should be greater than overall cost u Project should be financially viable – must be able to repay debt incurred, as well as cover operational maintenance costs

54 Considerations – Heavy Vehicles u Heavy Vehicles: u Have highest impact on road pavement u Use of the road – requirement to conduct business, also high value of time u Mostly commercial vehicles – deductions for VAT and toll as normal business expense

55 Considerations – Discounts Considerations – Discounts u Public concern about affordability for frequent and longer travel distance users – Frequent User Discounts (FUD) to address issue u Project principle – promotion of public transport – Public Transport Discounts to assist u Motorcycles – requests for reduced tariff – toll system designed to classify motorcycles

56 Discounts Discounts u E-Toll Tag users: u Class A1, A2, B and C – 25% u Discounted Tariff (per km), VAT Incl. u Class A1 – 30c/km u Class A2 – 49,5 c/km (42,5 /km, VAT excl) u Class B – R1,49 /km (R1,28 /km, VAT excl) u Class C – R2,97 /km (R2,55 /km, VAT excl) u Ratio between tariffs for class A2: B: C is: u 1: 3: 6 NB: No tag, no discount!

57 Other Additional Discounts Other Additional Discounts u Public Transport Operator discounts for qualifying vehicles: 50% u SAPS & SANDF exempt u Time of Day Discounts

58 Time of Day Discounts

59 Other Additional Discounts (cont.) Other Additional Discounts (cont.) u Frequent User Discounts only for Class A1 and A2 e-toll tag account users:

60 Payment terms u SANRAL is not a financial institution and would therefore not be able to extend credit without being exposed to the National Credit Act, hence no payment terms u 7 day grace period from date of transaction

61 Impact of Toll Tariffs upon Financial Feasibility VLN TariffTag Tariff (-25%) 80c per km60c per km 66c per km*49,5c per km* 40c per km30c per km To illustrate the impact of different toll tariffs upon financial viability, three sets of light vehicle tariffs were considered: All discounts remain the same percentages * Gazetted Tariffs

62

63 Monthly Tolls Monthly Tolls u 51% of all light vehicle users would pay less than R200 toll per month u 69% of all light vehicle users would pay less than R400 toll per month u 77% of all light vehicle users would pay less than R500 per month. u A maximum of 2% of all light vehicle users is expected to pay more than R1000 per month toll. *Based on 27 000 interviews

64 Examples of the Monthly Toll Cost of a Passenger in a Taxi u For 22 return trips, as described, between Golden Highway (south of Jhb) and Centurion via the N1: R472,18 per month divided amongst 16 passengers R29,51 per passenger per month R1,34 per passenger return per day 64

65 Examples of the Monthly Toll Cost of a Passenger in a Taxi u For 22 return trips, as described, between south of Johannesburg and Centurion via the N1, M1 and N1 again R228,94 per month divided amongst 16 passengers R14,31 per passenger per month 65c per passenger return per day 65

66 Examples of the Monthly Toll Cost of a Passenger in a Taxi u For 22 return trips, as described, between Golden Highway (south of Jhb) and Jhb CBD via the N1 and M1 R45,71 per month divided amongst 16 passengers R2,86 per passenger per month 13c per passenger return per day 66

67 Economic Study: Inflationary Effect u Economic study - impact on the cost of consumer goods determined. u Only considered the cost of tolling - ignoring all the benefits of the freeway upgrades. u Conclusions w.r.t. “Cost of Living” increases: u Household incomes less than R24 365 - 0.31% increase. (31c for each R100 spent) u Household incomes between R24 365 and R55 159 - 0.29% increase (29c for each R100 spent). u The scheme will have little impact on the cost of consumer goods and will not be inflationary 67

68 Traffic Diversion u Issue of traffic diversion to supporting road network raised by local authorities during toll declaration process u Extensive traffic modelling conducted to demonstrate impact during different peak and off peak periods: u Additional GFIP capacity attracts traffic to network during peak periods u At night and during weekends – slight increase in traffic on alternative “free” network – however, highway bonus not considered u In terms of the overall alternative Provincial and Metropolitan road network, there should be a reduction of ±10% in travelled distance and in excess of 20% reduction in travel time on a daily basis as a result of the GFIP project. 68

69 How does it work? u Overhead gantries are fitted with electronic equipment u When entering the toll area the electronic equipment will: – photograph your front and rear number plate; – read the E-tag on your vehicle; – verify that the specific tag is linked to the specific vehicle [number plate and class] and have an account linked to it; – Generate a transaction; – transactions are rolled up at night; – toll fees are deducted from your e-toll account; – transactions can be viewed on-line the next day 69

70 SANRAL Principles for ORT u One tag standard u One account – may include various vehicles u Central clearing Full interoperability 70
