7. “Quality Service Delivery through Transportation Excellence” 7 Roads Infrastructure Mission ►The mission of the Roads Infrastructure programme is: to promote accessibility and provide safe, affordable movement of people, goods and services through the delivery and maintenance of transport infrastructure that is sustainable, integrated and environmentally sensitive, and which supports and facilitates social and economic growth through socially just, developmental and empowering processes.

8. “Quality Service Delivery through Transportation Excellence” 8 Eastern Cape Department of Roads & Transport Policy Objective ►Change the ratio of rural gravel/surfaced roads ►Reverse from 80% gravel 20% surfaced ►To 20% gravel and 80% surfaced ►Improved access for rural populations ►Long term reduction in maintenance effort ►Preservation of scarce gravel resources

11. “Quality Service Delivery through Transportation Excellence” 11 Situational analysis: Roads Infr ►Eastern Cape has abnormally extensive gravel road network (due to rural population distribution, large geographical area) ►Historical neglect has resulted in pressure to complete the network to same standard as exists elsewhere (upgrading from gravel to high alignment standards requires large-scale earthworks in very poor materials proving very expensive) ►Maintenance of surfaced roads has had to be put on hold (insufficient funds for re- sealing, essential rehabilitation) ►Conventional gravel road maintenance has been unsuccessful (poor gravels, rainfall, topography, heavy traffic) ►PIG on top of equitable Provincial share still not enough to address above demands ►Roads department is falling further behind in respect of all of its above primary goals ►The Province is lacking in respect of essential resources (technical personnel & plant)
