THE LAND TRANSPORT ADVISORY BOARD AND INTERMODAL PLANNING COMMITTEEBringing stakeholders together for integrated transport

Establishment of the LTAB and IPC

The Land Transport Advisory Board (LTAB) and Intermodal Planning Committee (IPC) were established in accordance with the National Land Transport Act and the Constitution of the Transport and Urban Development Authority for Cape Town By-law, 2016. Both structures including their subcommittees were created as part of the TDA establishment process. They are transport and urban development-related stakeholder structures that include core members as well as ad hoc members who attend by invitation and are involved in transport and urban development-related activities in Cape Town and its functional area. They are not decisionmaking structures but will make recommendations to the various stakeholder bodies as well as facilitate transversal interventions. The structure and relationship is shown on page 6.

Subcommittees

There are currently seven subcommittees under the IPC:

Rail Steering Subcommittee

The Rail Steering Subcommittee was established to oversee the integration of rail transport into the public transport system for the functional area of Cape Town as directed by the Intermodal Planning Committee. It has its roots in the Rail Steering Committee which was restructured after consultation with the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa), in alignment with the National Land Transport Act and the By-Law.

There are two working groups under the subcommittee, namely:

• Planning and Project Implementation

• Rail Operations Interface.

Provision for ad hoc project management teams has also been made for use as and when they are required.

Minibus Taxi SubcommitteeThis subcommittee is comprised of four members from SANTACO Western Cape and two members of each of the six regional minibus taxistructures that operate in the Cityof Cape Town. The purpose of thissubcommittee is two-fold, firstly toreceive functional issues and redirectthem to the correct places for actionwhile ensuring that issues impactingon multiple parties are addressed in acomprehensive manner. The secondpurpose is for the City and Provinceto work alongside SANTACO andthe regional minibus taxi structuresto determine a new economic modelfor the minibus taxi industry within

the context of sustainable, integratedand intermodal public transport andto ensure that the Integrated PublicTransport Network 2032 is giveneffect to.

Land Use SubcommitteeThis subcommittee focuses on transport versus land use issues and the relationship between the two. Transit oriented development (TOD) and related transversal matters will be addressed in this subcommittee. This structure will not replace the City’s existing TOD working groups, but will complement and feed through multi- stakeholder issues of importance.

Port SubcommitteeThere have been a number of Transnet, freight and port-related issues that over the past years have not been appropriately managed from a stakeholder point of view.

The Land Transport Advisory Board recommended the establishment of this subcommittee to coordinate all of these issues within the City. Transnet and the Western Cape Government are the core stakeholders.

Land Transport Enforcement SubcommitteeThe Intermodal Planning Committee approved the formal establishment of the Land Transport Enforcement Subcommittee, which was previously constituted as a task team. Its main objective is to integrate and align

the public transport law enforcement efforts of the seven law enforcement agencies in the city. Its key deliverables are to:

• Involve the respective law enforcement agencies as equal partners in promoting the safe and efficient use of the transport system within the City of Cape Town;

• Align and consolidate the prioritised activities of the law enforcement agencies and Transport for Cape Town;

• Establish and set agreed targets against which the service and efficacy of transport law enforcement can be measured;

• Investigate the roll out of additional technology in support of law enforcement requirements in the transport system;

• Investigate the appropriate option for funding the expansion of resources in support of the priorities identified; and

• Investigate the efficacy of the dedicated law enforcement teams.

Functional Area SubcommitteeThe Functional Area Subcommittee focuses on the significant economic, commuter, transport network and other interdependencies and interrelationships between the City of Cape Town and surrounding municipalities such as Stellenbosch, Drakenstein, Saldanha and others.

The subcommittee is tasked with finding practical answers and outputs in response to inter– municipal dependencies, and the appropriate mechanisms to put them into effect. This may lead to policy development and possible functional area projects within this interdependent region.

Some of the key areas of focus include:

• Transit oriented development (TOD);

• Planning frameworks including the Comprehensive Integrated Transport Plan (CITP), Integrated Transport Plans (ITPs) and Integrated Public Transport Networks (IPTNs);

• Transport movement patterns with respect to freight and commuters;

• Transport and road projects;

• Integrated transport networks, public transport interchanges and stations;

• Contracting Authority and Municipal Regulatory Entity (these are assignment related); and

• Operating Licensing Function.

Stakeholder Management Subcommittee

The Stakeholder Management Subcommittee comprises representatives of Transport and Urban Development Authority, Metrorail, Western Cape Government, Transnet and Stellenbosch Municipality. Stakeholders are defined as organisations that matter to the transport system in relation to the IPC and LTAB Terms of Reference.

A stakeholder analysis is underway to help understand stakeholders and their policies, institutions, main focus and circumstances. This will be used to highlight the challenges that need to

be faced to change behaviour, develop capacity and tackle inequalities. The analysis will also identify the patterns and contexts of interaction between stakeholders, assess stakeholder influence and potential and use the findings to inform an LTAB/IPC communication plan to encourage all involved to be clear about purpose, intent and desired outcomes.

Sustainable Mobility SubcommitteeThe subcommittee will focus on non-motorised transport, universal access for the physically challenged and the ‘green’ mobility space. Sustainability-related actions include ‘green’ roads, ‘green’ buildings, solar technology and electric vehicles.
