Freight Transport Vision for Limpopo
19 Freight Transport Vision 2030
Freight Transport Vision:
• A World Renowned Freight Transport
Freight Transport Mission
• White Paper on National Transport Policy: “To provide safe, reliable, effective, efficient and fully integrated land freight transport operations and infrastructure...” • Optimised Freight Movement That Stimulates Growth
Key Freight Transport Goals
• Maintain and improve the efficiency of the freight transport system ; • Enhance the sustainability of the freight sector ; and • Ensure the availability of sufficient capacity in the freight sector. 20 Freight Transport Vision 2030 LEGDP
21 Freight Transport Challenges and Solutions
22 Key Freight Transport Principles
Sustainable land freight Significant investment in the land freight transport system . transport system
By effectively serving all modes in an integrated manner the land freight transport system can be highly responsive to change and provide access and mobility for goods movement.
Safe land freight Land freight transport system needs to be safe. Equally, education and promotion are methods transport system that can contribute to significant safety outcomes.
Integrated and Packaging complementary measures that work towards the Strategy’s goals and vision responsive land freight transport system Integration of activities between transport agencies, between transport modes and policy development and application within and between regulatory agencies.
Creating freight Enable choice that encourages goods to travel in affordable, integrated, safe and environmentally transport choices by sustainable ways. balancing roles of freight transport modes Freight movement by road favoured to the detriment of other modes.
Slide 23 Air Freight Potential

Rail Freight Characteristics: Challenges
• 3 freight transport • Loss of market share by drivers: rail freight; • Agriculture and food • Lack of rail services. processing • Underutilisation of rail • Industry – cement infrastructure; • Mining – gold, iron • Presently freight ore, copper, platinum, transport mainly consists COAL of road and rail, with limited intermodal freight.

Slide 33 How heavy vehicles are avoiding to be weighed…
Solutions: • Strengthening of overload control enforcement on escape routes. • Introduction of regular calibration of weighbridges. • Upgrading weighbridge scales to the type of scale suitable for the traffic on each particular route or corridor. • Extend operating hours of some strategic weighbridges such that they operate throughout the day. 34 Solutions for Border Post Operations

The following key policy challenges have been identified: • There is lack of policy guidelines regarding road infrastructure improvements to provide more definite collaboration between Government Spheres; • There is lack of co-ordination between National, Provincial and Municipal spheres regarding road transport planning, maintenance and operations in the Province; • Lack of capacity to perform legislative functions Lack of legislation limiting Freight Transport to Designated National Routes Lack of Legislation with the Provision of Incentives for Mode Shift from Road to Rail Lack of legislation compelling the provision for dedicated lanes for trucks on freight transport routes. Lack of legislation regulating the gathering and dissemination of transport data by the National Department of Transport, provinces, operators etc. Lack of legislation providing for the implementation of the planning, institutional and regulatory recommendations made in the “NATMAP” report.
36 Legal and Policy Solutions
• Over the years many policy frameworks, strategic frameworks, institutional amendments, legislative amendments have been produced with apparently no significant improvement in the regulation of overloading, the protection of the road infrastructure and road safety problems. • NDoT identified the need for legislative review. • Biggest challenge is still that policies and legislation are not implemented; pointing out that proper implementation could have a great effect.
37 Institutional Analysis
The following are key challenges hampering proper functioning of freight transport institutions in the Province: • Lack of Integrated Planning • Lack of Freight Transport Expertise and Limited Local Capacity • Lack of Freight Transport Information
38 Institutional Solutions
• The planning function should embrace the overall and detail planning aspects of freight transportation and should include infrastructure planning, operational planning, the creation of appropriate institutional arrangements, inter-modality, human resources and specific provision for districts within the provincial jurisdiction. • The development function gives effect to the results or outcomes of the planning phase involving the implementation of freight-related projects. This may involve the physical construction of infrastructure, commissioning or putting into operation any freight transportation sub-system, a project, or research programs. • Although regulation is a statutory requirement of the national department, this function within the provincial department should be as wide as possible with ‘to be controlled by rule’ at one end and ‘an authoritative direction’ at the other side of the spectrum.
39 Institutional Solutions
• Facilitation of freight transport needs to ensure a smooth and seamless operation of the systems as well as in the delivery of freight transport services. • One aspect that needs to be reconsidered by the Department is its role in the promotion of freight transport services in the province. Promoting is a basic function which normally sets the scene in any enabling instrument such as a policy, a white paper or an act of parliament. The function of promotion can be described as to further or encourage to progress or existence or to support an activity.

Funding Options
56 Alternative Funding Options
It has been indicated in a number of transportation conferences and forums, that Government (both National and Provincial) have funding challenges to maintain and construct new transportation infrastructure. Various funding options have been considered as a solution for this challenge and they include the use of: • Public Private Partnerships (PPPs); • tolling; • road maintenance levy (RML); • transit fees; • vehicle registration - and permit fees; • abnormal load fees; and • overloading fees.
57 Monitoring
58 Approach to Monitoring
The indicators utilized for the monitoring and evaluation of the Provincial Freight Strategy should meet a certain criteria. This includes: • Indicators should be clearly specified and measurable regularly; • They should be relevant to the characteristic being examined; • Indicators should be obtained from a credible and reputable data source; • They should possess an established measurement baseline one that can be developed; and • Indicators should have the ability of being comparable with other provinces or at national level.
