1. BACKGROUND

The Department of Transport has developed a national transport strategy to address the challenges experienced by our rural communities. Transport is a basic necessity for sustainable social and economic development. Transport can also play a catalytic role in addressing poverty and development needs as well as correcting spatial distortion. It follows from these that the rural transport implementation plan is responding to the priorities and the needs of district municipalities and province.

To overcome the challenges in the residential and industrial areas and to ensure equitable distribution of sources government departments, NGOs and the business community are acting collectively to respond to social and economic crisis facing our country.

The strategy is aimed at developing balanced and sustainable public transport systems by supporting local infrastructure and services. Parallel to the Rural Development programme, the Department is also addressing mobility challenges facing learners in the urban schools. The emphasis is to improve access roads, develop passable roads, and address neglected infrastructure and corridors, which are linked to markets, provide feeder systems to stations and other social services.

Walking is a major mode of transport in general, and the dominant mode of travel in rural areas. For journeys to work, walking is main of travel for 23% of South Africans (and 53% of commuters in rural). The majority of scholars and students – 76% - walk to their educational institutions. In rural areas and even higher percentage – 91% - do so. Walking and cycling, which is less common – are not lower – income, second best options. The challenge is to make walking and cycling the preferred modes in South Africa for the appropriate distances. They are least expensive modes and therefore most accessible for the majority of commuters, as well as the most attractive from and environment perspective.

To enable and support walking and cycling, planning authorities need to build, expand and maintain continuous networks of formal walking (sidewalks, off-road paths, safe crossings, pedestrian bridges

etc) and dedicated cycleway along lines of high demand. A major objective of providing dedicated infrastructure is to protect walkers and cyclists from conflict with motorised modes, a leading cause of road traffic fatalities. Non-motorised transport is a pleasant, realistic choice only when security is

addressed. When quality NMT infrastructure and amenities are provided, as they are with other modes, this mode competes on the world stage.

A pedestrian safety master plan that provides a comprehensive framework for improving pedestrian safety and mobility in the CoT regions was conducted and is available. The objectives of the Pedestrian Safety Master Plan is mainly focused on improved safety and efficiency for pedestrians by implementing traffic calming measures, provision of formal public transport facilities, road markings and road signage, pedestrian walkways.
