1.1 Interrelationship between Transport Plans and Frameworks
The National Land Transport Strategic Framework (NLTSF) provides the policy
and over-arching transport strategy for South Africa. Particular planning initiatives of
the DoT are taken up and reflected in the NLTSF w here appropriate. These include
the:
• National Transport Master Plan;
• National Public Transport Strategy and Action Plan;
• National Rail Plan; and
• National Freight Logistics Strategy.
Each Province needs to prepare a Provincial Land Transport Framew ork (PLTF)
for a five-year period in terms of Government Notice R1004 of 24 July 2002. The
primary objectives of the PLTF are:
• to create a strategic framew ork for the development of transport from a
provincial perspective; and
• to co-ordinate the preparation of ITPs w ithin the area.
Integrated Transport Plans (ITPs) have to be prepared by all municipalities. The
DITP serves to set out the vision, goals and objectives, and strategies to address all
aspects of land transport in the area and to include proposals for multi-modal
transport, private transport and freight.
