Integrated Transport Plan.pdf - Durban

� Upgrade of the rail system and service through continued
pursuance of investment in the rail system and infrastructure.
� Modernisation of the bus and taxi fleets.
� A CBD prioritised public transport distribution system which
would interface with the various major bus, rail and taxi services
to the CBD.
� A pilot project for co-ordinated, integrated feeder services to rail.
� Upgrade of the area traffic control system (ATC) which in central
Durban optimises traffic flows and reduces congestion and
related pollution.
� Phased implementation of taxi and bus rank rationalisation in
Durban’s Warwick Avenue area; developing towards a multi-level
Berea station transport interchange.
� An investigation to identify congestion locations along the public
transport routes and evaluate possible options to reduce or avoid
congestion
� A pilot study for upgrading public transport security at selected
rank (s).
� A parking investigation to consider more efficient use of available
parking facilities and develop a comprehensive parking
revenue/cost recovery programme, taking into consideration the
cost of providing and maintaining facilities.
� Although not a project as such, policy has been developed for
this first ITP giving priority to public transport in the planning and
development of the transportation system and in support of
appropriate TDM measures to minimise the negative impact of
private transport on the urban environment.
Completion of pilot projects will undoubtedly give rise to other projects with
some of these being incorporated into the TDM strategy at a later stage in
the planning process.
