Gauteng roads department and CSIR team up to accelerate transport service delivery
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) on Monday announced that they were embarking on several transport-related research projects that will address some of the province’s public transport challenges.
“Three projects in particular, valued at over R20-million, will enable the department to accelerate transport service delivery in the province,” noted Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Dr Ismail Vadi.
The three partnership projects include the accurate mapping of minibus taxi routes in Gauteng, which will focus on the lack of accurate taxi route networks in the province, which has been the source of serious and violent conflicts in the minibus taxi industry.
The partnership projects will also oversee the development of a master plan for the improved roll-out of new-look integrated transport services centres to house public services such as driver licensing and training centres, vehicle testing centres and transport operating licence administrative bodies.
The projects will also focus on the development of the transport norms and standards book for the province, based on scientific research.
These three projects will be completed within the next ten months.
