Vital QuestionCan eTA make a real difference?
Transport Authorities (TAs) are internationally considered to be one of the most effective institutional arrangements to deal with the complex transport issues in urban areas.

Four Strategic Transport thrusts for eThekwini
1. Prioritising PT over private transport
2. Promoting PT – attractive and efficient
3. Spatial restructuring
4. Safety

ST1. Prioritising PT over private transport
Key Issue: low occupancy private car usage is the single greatest threat to sustainability of the transport system, having a great impact on the environment.

- Car restraint measures
- Limited road development (focus mainly on bottlenecks and access)

The challenge cont.
Utilisation: Rail – 20%
Bus – 30%
Taxi – 83%
Subsidy savings:
Current subsidy Savings from restructuring
R450 mill pa R180 mill pa
Vehicle ages: Rail closure in less than 15 years time
Taxi and bus serious lack of investment
![Page 12: Transport Authorities eThekwini Transport Authority Making a difference for sustainability Notes](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649eb35503460f94bbafde/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Strategy: Rationalise and Restructure
Rail – currently with National
Subsidised bus contracts – currently with Province
eTAOptimal mode deployment
Remove duplicated services (especially subsidised)
Intermodalism and integration
Investigate low volume rail lines
Devolution

ST3: Spatial restructuring
The challenge…
Sprawl reduces PT efficiency and poorly located low income housing projects impose a high, perpetual subsidy burden on transport.
![Page 17: Transport Authorities eThekwini Transport Authority Making a difference for sustainability Notes](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649eb35503460f94bbafde/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Result:
By moving low income housing closer to work, the higher land costs are recovered in 2 to 7 years
by the savings in subsidy.
The challenge cont.

Strategy: densification of nodes and corridors
Key concern: Influence the location of low income housing by subsidising
increased land costs

ST4: Safety
Road safety a key issue: SA has one of the poorest accidents records in the world.

Conclusion
The eTA has positioned itself to meet the key transport challenges in SA Cities.
The hard work is still ahead…
