Join the #TransportMonth conversation this October
During this month, government, and specifically the Department of Transport and its entities, will showcase transport infrastructure services in aviation, maritime, public transport, and roads. October will also be used to further advance the country’s road safety initiatives, while also creating awareness of the economic benefits of the sector.
The investments in the transport sector are aimed at stimulating development and creating jobs as part of the country’s Nine-Point Plan. These investments will ensure that an integrated public transport network is built across the country.
Investments in rail, roads, and public transport is changing the way people access their places of work, study and entertainment. These investments will also help to grow our economy, and address the challenges of unemployment, poverty, and inequality.
Raising awareness
October was declared Transport Month in 2005 during the Transport Lekgotla. It is used to raise awareness on the important role of transport in the economy and to encourage participation from civil society and business, including the provision of a safe and more affordable, accessible and reliable transport system in the country.
During Transport Month, the government will also mobilise public and private sector participation in transport projects aimed at developing the country’s economy and ensuring sustainable job creation.
