• investigate business developments looking at forming joint ventures w ith schools for school transport providers with vehicle, legal, financial and supply chain management; • investigate the introduction of mass bicycle transport for scholars based on distance travelled from home to school; • develop a comprehensive bicycle infrastructure netw ork; and • introduce the w alking bus concept and breakfast clubs. (b) Problem Statement The provision of motorised public transport for learner transport is fragmented, not well organised and inadequately resourced. As a result, some eligible learners do not have access to scholar transport, and it is often not safe or reliable. The majority of scholars walk to school, and for them there has been little focus on providing safe, attractive paths along the major lines of demand. Learner transport is not regulated. (c) Strategy The objective is to ensure that the transport needs of learners are met in the most efficient, effective and affordable w ay, and as far as possible by the system provided for mainstream public transport. (d) Outputs SDM w ill ensure the provision of learner transport in the most effective and safe manner. This requires the implementation of a co-ordinated strategy w ith the GPTRW, Gauteng Department of Education (GDE), LocalMunicipalities, the Gauteng Transport Operating Licence Board and private operators. This strategy for Learner Transport in <strong>Sedibeng</strong> w ill cover the follow ing: • Formalisation of irregular operations and contract:SDM w ill continue its involvement w ith the Province to formalise the irregular operators of education transport services. • Alternative modes of transport:Alternative modes of transportation w ill be investigated and implemented for learners, especially those w ho are already walking great distances to schools. The supply of bicycle infrastructure and bicycles is imperative. How ever, this must go hand in hand w ith bicycle education and safety programmes w hich can be workshopped at the schools affected. • Learner Transport Demand Survey:Once the formalisation of the industry has taken effect, a database on the operators w ill be started and updated regularly. This database w ill contain specific information on specific routes to see w here the greatest demand is and how that compares w ith the supply. SDM w ill set-up an institutional body or structure (also referred to under Modal Integration in a preceding section of this DITP) w here representatives of different travel modes (including learner transport) can voice their needs and concerns in an integrated manner. Role-players to be invited to attend include GPTRW. 8.3.6 Transport for People w ith Special Needs (a) Background SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 126 31 Aug 2010
The creation of barrier-free environments is a key thrust of legislation and policy on disability. This is particularly important in the design of public transport facilities and vehicles. The National Travel Survey, 2004, (NTS) found that 12 000 people in Gauteng said that they make no trips for the reason that there is no suitable transport for people w ith disabilities. The number of people w ho identified themselves as disabled in the 2001 Census in Gauteng – 4% of the population – is show n in the follow ing TABLE 8.2. Table 8.2: Number of People in Gauteng w ith Disabilities Disability Number of People Sight 91 462 Hearing 39 222 Communication 10291 Physical 84851 Intellectual 32 949 Emotional 38<strong>11</strong>4 Multiple 35 235 TOTAL 332 123 Source: Census, 2001. The NTS found that many people over 65 years of age (43% of them) did not make any trips on survey day (compared to the Gauteng average of 19,3%). Of the people who did travel, the main trip purposes w ere shopping (54%), visiting (44%), church (34%), medical (33%) and w elfare (14%). Only ten percent w ere work trips. (b) Problem Statement The incorporation of methods to provide for the needs of those with disabilities in the planning, design and provision of transport facilities and services is an official Gauteng policy contained in the Gauteng White Paper on Transport Policy, 1997. Notw ithstanding, much transport infrastructure is not free of barriers, and is therefore not easily useable by people w ith visual or mobility impairments including older people. (c) Strategy Although the Province focuses primarily on public transport as a means to conveying people w ith special needs, it also includes private transport, w alking, cycling and nonmotorised transport as a mode of transport for such trips. Furthermore, regarding the usage of public transport, the focus is on busses (formalised municipal busses, contracted Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) busses, formalised busses and dedicated school busses), mini-bustaxis (dedicated learner transport and general public transport) and rail transport. The objective is to ensure that the transport needs of special categories of passengers, including people w ith disabilities and the elderly and tourists, are met in the most efficient, effective and affordable way, and as far as possible by the system provided for mainstream public transport.
